Marcel’s Songtext
von Herman’s Hermits

Marcel lives in Wapping
The ducks eye view is topping
Marcel′s got a houseboat on the Thames
There's grotesque decorations
Eccentric demonstrations
Ah, let′s go down to Marcel's on the Thames

Knock, knock, sesame it's open
It′s an East end Wonderland
Marcel, Marcel
Can we come around, can we see you right away
Can we come around, it′s such a groovy day
Marcel, Marcel


You meet the oddest creatures
With unfamiliar features
Greeks and Turks with clerks and Lemontine
Men with long eyelashes
And ladies with moustaches
On Marcel's creaking house that′s on the Thames

Knock, knock, sesame it's open
It′s an East end Wonderland
Marcel, Marcel

Can we come around, can we see you right away
Can we come around, it's such a groovy day
Marcel, Marcel

The cost is worth the giving
A pound-a-man you′re living
Oh, let's go down to Marcel's on the Thames

Let′s go down to Marcel′s on the Thames
Let's go down to Marcel′s on the Thames
Let's go down to Marcel′s on the Thames, yeah
Let's go down to Marcel′s ...
