[00:00:00] Jubilee Sovereign - Stanley Holloway

[00:00:01] Written by：Marriott Edgar

[00:00:07] On jubilee day the ramsbottoms

[00:00:10] Asked all their relations to tea

[00:00:13] Including young albert's grandmother

[00:00:16] An awkward old party were she

[00:00:19] She'd seen queen victoria's jub lee

[00:00:22] And her wedding to albert the good

[00:00:25] But got quite upset when young albert

[00:00:28] Asked how she'd got on in the flood

[00:00:31] She cast quite a damper on party

[00:00:34] But cheered up a bit after tea

[00:00:37] And gave albert a real golden sovrin

[00:00:41] She'd saved since the last jubilee

[00:00:44] It had picture of queen on the one side

[00:00:47] And a dragon fight on the reverse

[00:00:50] And tasted of camphor and cobwebs

[00:00:53] Through being so long in her purse

[00:00:57] Albert cuddled the coin and he kissed it

[00:01:01] And felt the rough edge with his tongue

[00:01:05] For he knew by the look of his father

[00:01:07] It wouldn't be his very longer

[00:01:11] Shall I get your money box alber

[00:01:14] Said mother so coaxing and sweet

[00:01:17] But albert let drop an expression

[00:01:20] He must have picked up in the street

[00:01:23] I'll show you a trick with that sovrin

[00:01:26] Said pa who were hovering near

[00:01:29] Then he took and pretended to eat it

[00:01:32] Then brought it back out of his ear

[00:01:35] This magic filled albert with wonder

[00:01:39] And before you could say uncle dick

[00:01:42] He'd got the coin back from his father

[00:01:44] And performed the first part of the trick

[00:01:48] When they saw as he'd swallered his suffering

[00:01:52] With excitement his relatives burned

[00:01:55] And each one suggested some process

[00:01:59] For getting the money returned

[00:02:02] Some were for fishing with tweezers

[00:02:05] Well some were for shaking it out

[00:02:08] If they only got back a few shillings

[00:02:11] They said would be better of the nowt

[00:02:15] They tried holding albert head downwards

[00:02:18] And giving his back a good thump

[00:02:21] Realse uncle who worked for a chemist

[00:02:24] Said there's nowt for it but stummick pump

[00:02:29] They hadn't a stummick pump andy

[00:02:31] But pa did the best that he could

[00:02:34] With a bicycle pump as he'd borrowed

[00:02:37] But that weren't a haporth of good

[00:02:40] At the last they to came to the doctor

[00:02:42] Who looked down his throat through a glass

[00:02:46] And said this'll mean operation

[00:02:48] He afraid out to laugh to have gas

[00:02:52] How much is this were going to cost us

[00:02:55] Said father beginning to squirm

[00:02:58] Said the doctor it comes quite expensive

[00:03:01] The best gas is it eightpence a therm

[00:03:05] There's my time four shillings an hour

[00:03:08] You can't do these things in two ticks

[00:03:11] By rights I should charge you a guinea

[00:03:14] But I'll do it for eighteen and six

[00:03:18] What eighteen and six to get sovrin said father

[00:03:22] That doesn't sound sense

[00:03:25] I'll tell you what you'd best keep

[00:03:27] Albert and give me the odd eighteen pence

[00:03:32] The doctor concurred this arrangement

[00:03:35] But to this day is stands in some doubt

[00:03:38] As to whether he's in eighteen shillings

[00:03:41] Or whether he's eighteen pence out
