A Hatful of Dreams

After seven years of life upon the ocean
It is time to bid the Seven Seas farewell
And the city I've pinned seven years of hopes on
Lies just over the horizon I can hear the harbor bell
Land ahoy
Got a tattered overcoat and battered suitcase
Got a pair of leaky boots upon my feet
Gotta drag myself up by my one good bootlace
Gotta work my rotten socks off if I want to make ends meet
I've poured everything I've got into my chocolate
Now it's time to show the world my recipes
I've got twelve silver sovereigns in my pocket
And a hatful of dreams
There's a famous restaurant on every street here
There's Brandino's and the Bar Parisian
Restaurant map sir
Oh thank you
Got a little map to tell me where to eat here
Had a dozen silver sovereigns now I'm somehow down to ten
Want the finest produce
This is where they stock it
That's three sovereigns mate
Though the prices are suspiciously extreme
Can you pay for it
I've got five six seven
Six silver sovereigns in my pocket
And a hatful of dreams
Brush your coat sir
No thank you
Cologne
No leave me alone
At last the Gallery Gourmet
I knew that we'd see it one day
It's everything you said Mama
And oh so much more
Each way that you turn another famous chocolate store
Here's my destiny I just need to unlock it
Will I crash and burn or go up like a rocket
I got nothing to offer but my chocolate
And a hatful of dreams
In this city anyone can be successful
If they've talent and work hard or so they say
But they didn't mention it would be so stressful
Just to make a dozen silver sovereigns last more than a day
Could you spare a sovereign for a place to sleep love
Of course here take all you need
Thank you
I've got one silver sovereign in my pocket
And a hatful of dreams
