[00:16.133] After seven years of life upon the ocean
[00:21.476] It is time to bid the Seven Seas farewell
[00:26.529] And the city I've pinned seven years of hopes on
[00:31.825] Lies just over the horizon, I can hear the harbor bell
[00:38.896] Land, ahoy
[00:41.088]
[00:46.892] Got a tattered overcoat and battered suitcase
[00:51.627] Got a pair of leaky boots upon my feet
[00:56.468] Gotta drag myself up by my one good bootlace
[01:01.068] Gotta work my rotten socks off if I want to make ends meet
[01:06.042] I've poured everything I've got into my chocolate
[01:10.842] Now it's time to show the world my recipes
[01:15.528] I've got twelve silver sovereigns in my pocket
[01:20.440] And a hatful of dreams
[01:24.833]
[01:32.488] There's a famous restaurant on every street here
[01:37.237] There's Brandino's and the Bar Parisian (Restaurant map, sir?)
[01:41.228] Oh, thank you
[01:42.132] Got a little map to tell me where to eat here
[01:46.829] Had a dozen silver sovereigns, now I'm somehow down to ten
[01:51.821] Want the finest produce? This is where they stock it (That's three sovereigns, mate)
[01:56.617] Though the prices are suspiciously extreme (Can you pay for it?)
[02:01.351] I've got five, six, seven?
[02:05.210] Six silver sovereigns in my pocket
[02:09.735] And a hatful of dreams
[02:13.719]
[02:13.836] Brush your coat, sir?
[02:14.936] No thank you
[02:15.679] Cologne?
[02:16.402] No, leave me alone
[02:17.603]
[02:19.471] At last, the Gallery Gourmet
[02:24.104] I knew that we'd see it one day
[02:29.188] It's everything you said, Mama
[02:31.385] And, oh, so much more
[02:34.150] Each way that you turn, another famous chocolate store
[02:38.256]
[02:38.373] Here's my destiny, I just need to unlock it
[02:43.180] Will I crash and burn or go up like a rocket?
[02:47.822] I got nothing to offer but my chocolate
[02:52.896] And a hatful of dreams
[02:59.797]
[03:20.145] In this city, anyone can be successful
[03:25.249] If they've talent or work hard, or so they say
[03:30.386] But they didn't mention it would be so stressful
[03:35.484] Just to make a dozen silver sovereigns last more than a day
[03:41.186]
[03:42.893] Could you spare a sovereign for a place to sleep, love?
[03:46.136] Of course, here, take all you need
[03:50.186] Thank you
[03:51.672]
[03:51.854] I've got one silver sovereign in my pocket
[04:04.527] And a hatful of dreams
