Lyrics
Georgie is absolutely right when he says that we share a great love of things, English
Georgie was English, He's as American as apple pie like these days
I'm American, but I love the English
If you don't mind my skipping over a ten-year period when I was married to an English woman
But let's not get morose, ladies and gentlemen
This is one of the loveliest exports ever to come from across the sea
"When true lovers meet in Mayfair"
So the legends tell
Songbirds sing, winter turns to spring
Every winding street in Mayfair
Falls beneath the spell
I know such enchantment can be
'Cause it happened one evening to me
That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air
There were angels dining at the Ritz
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
I may be right, and I may be wrong
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square
The moon that lingered over London town
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown
How could he know that we two were so in love?
The whole darn world seemed upside down
The streets of town were paved with stars
It was such a romantic affair
And when we kissed and said goodnight
A nightingale sang in Berkeley
Nightingale sang in Berkeley
Nightingale sang in Berkeley Square!
Beautiful audience, thank you so much
