《Albert Evacuated》歌词

[00:00:00] Albert Evacuated - Stanley Holloway

[00:00:00] Have you heard how young Albert Ramsbottom

[00:00:03] Was evacuated from home

[00:00:05] With his mother clean socks and a toothbrush

[00:00:08] Some syrup of figs and a comb

[00:00:10] The stick with the orses ead andle

[00:00:13] They decided that they'd leave behind

[00:00:15] To keep safe with the things they weren't wanting

[00:00:18] Like their gasmasks and thinks of that kind

[00:00:21] Pa saw them off at the station

[00:00:23] And shed a few crocodile tears

[00:00:27] As he waved them goodbye from the platform

[00:00:30] Twas the best break he'd had in ten years

[00:00:33] Ma got corner seat for young Albert

[00:00:36] Who amused all the rest of the team

[00:00:39] By breathing hot breaths on the window

[00:00:42] And writing some swear words in steam

[00:00:45] They arrived at last somewhere in England

[00:00:49] And straight to their billet were shown

[00:00:51] Ther was one room for mother

[00:00:53] But Albert was in a small room of his own

[00:00:57] The very first night in the blackout

[00:01:00] Young Albert performed quite a feat

[00:01:02] By hanging head first from the window

[00:01:05] And shining his torch down the street

[00:01:08] It flashed on an ARP warden

[00:01:12] Patrolling with leisurely gait

[00:01:15] Good Heavens he said it's Tarzan

[00:01:19] I'd better go investigate

[00:01:22] So reading his book of instructions

[00:01:25] To make himself doubly sure

[00:01:28] Then in an official manner

[00:01:30] Proceeded to knock on the door

[00:01:34] It was opened by Mrs Ramsbottom

[00:01:37] Now then said she what's to do

[00:01:40] And in stern air warden manner he said

[00:01:44] I'm going to interrogate you

[00:01:47] This fair upset Mrs Ramsbottom

[00:01:50] Her face was a picture to see

[00:01:52] I'll have you know you'll do nowt of the sort

[00:01:55] I'm a respectable woman said she

[00:01:57] Has your son been evacuated

[00:02:01] Said the ARP man at the door

[00:02:03] He'd all them things done as a baby said mother

[00:02:06] He's not being done anymore

[00:02:08] Be off now said Mrs Ramsbottom

[00:02:11] As she bustled him out of the porch

[00:02:13] And the ARP man patted Albert

[00:02:16] And then confiscated his torch

[00:02:19] Now that were unlucky for Albert

[00:02:21] He had no torch to see him to bed

[00:02:24] But being a bright little fellow

[00:02:26] He switched on the hal light instead

[00:02:30] Put out that light a voice shouted

[00:02:33] Where's the men of our ARP

[00:02:36] I've told them already the warden replied

[00:02:39] They take no bloody notice of me

[00:02:42] Soon Mrs Ramsbottom and Albert

[00:02:45] Were feeling quite homesick and sad

[00:02:48] So they thanked the landlady most kindly

[00:02:51] And prepared to go back home to Dad

[00:02:54] When at last they reached home to Father

[00:02:57] They were fed up and had quite enough

[00:03:00] But in the front parlour they found six young women

[00:03:04] And Father were doing his stuff

[00:03:08] Hello Mother said Mr Ramsbottom

[00:03:11] Come right on in don't be afraid

[00:03:14] When you went away I joined Ambulance Corps

[00:03:18] I'm instructing the girls in first aid

[00:03:22] First aid said Mrs Ramsbottom

[00:03:25] With a horrible look on her brow

[00:03:28] If ever you wanted first aid in your life

[00:03:32] By gum you'll be wanting it now
