Brussels Lyrics


It was the time when Brussels could sing
It was the time of the silent movies
It was the time when Brussels was king
It was the time when Brussels brustled
Pick out a hat so dashing and gay
Go take a walk, it's a beautiful day
Put on your spats and your high-buttoned shoes
Get on the tram, get the gossip and news

And she was so much bolder

Go take a walk, it's a beautiful day
Put on your spats and your high-buttoned shoes
Get on the tram , get the gossip and news
Not a time for crying
How the heart was flying
There was my grandfather
There was my grandmother

It was the time of the silent movies
It was the time when Brussels was king
It was the time when Brussels brustled
Sing out a song so dashing and gay
Walk hand-in-hand, it's a beautiful day
Put on you r spats and your high-buttoned shoes
Get on the tram, ge the gossip and news
Not a time for crying
How the heart was flying
There was my grandfather
There was my grandmother
Ten million guns got loaded
World War I exploded
It was such fun - oh, what a game
They saved the world but I bring it shame
Oh, it was the time when Brussels could sing
It was the time of the silent movies
It was the time when Brussels was king
It was the time when
It was the time when
Oh, it was the time when Brussels could sing
It was the time of the silent movies
It was the time when Brussels was king
It was the time when Bru...
