Lloyd Webber: Letter Home - Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sarah Brightman

Mum, I’ve got a lot to tell you

Me and Joe have had a bust up

This will be the last letter with the postmark stamped NY

I’ve met a film producer

Please don’t laugh

His name is Sheldon

He’s what the people here all call a real together guy

He is off to California

And he wants me to go with him

Oh, thanks for your last letter

I was thrilled to hear from you

The pictures of Aunt Edna are all absolutely… lovely

And incidently Sheldon’s mum loves Mantovani too

Mum, you must ignore the neighbours

You just can’t stop Jason barking

You’ll become a nervous wreck, love

Just by listening to them

Sheldon has a house in Bel Air

Well, it’s really a pink mansion

It has electric gates and armed guards

And he calls it La Boheme

Sheldon says he’ll have no trouble

Getting me my blessed green card

And let’s face it, Mum, if he can’t

I would say that no one can

He plays squash with Casper… um, someone

He’s a senator from Utah

In Muswell Hill you just don’t come across this sort of man

Sheldon has a lot of meetings

Well, he’s terribly ambitious

He’s working on a musical

'Bout Rommel as a boy

Tell Dad I will be livid

If you spend two weeks in Folkestone

I know that La Boheme’s a place

That you will both enjoy
