《Albert Comes Back》歌词

[00:00:00] You've eard ow young Albert Ramsbottom

[00:00:02] At the zoo up at Blackpool one year

[00:00:05] With a stick with an orse's ead andle

[00:00:07] Gave a lion a poke in the ear

[00:00:09] The name of the lion was Wallace

[00:00:12] The poke in the ear made im wild

[00:00:14] And before you could say Bob's yer uncle

[00:00:17] Ed upped and e'd swallowed the child

[00:00:19] E were sorry the moment e done it

[00:00:23] With children e'd always been chums

[00:00:25] And besides e'd no teeth in his muzzle

[00:00:28] And e couldn't chew Albert on't gums

[00:00:31] E could feel the lad movin inside im

[00:00:34] As e lay on is bed of dried ferns

[00:00:37] And it might ave been little lad's birthday

[00:00:40] E wished im such appy returns

[00:00:43] Meanwhile Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom

[00:00:45] Ad gone back to their tea feelin' blue

[00:00:48] Ma said I feel down in the mouth like

[00:00:52] Pa said Aye I bet Albert does too

[00:00:55] Said Mother It just goes to show yer

[00:00:58] That the future is never revealed

[00:01:01] If I'd thowt we was goin' to lose im

[00:01:03] I'd ave not ad is boots soled and eeled

[00:01:07] Let's look on the bright side said Father

[00:01:09] Wot can't be elped must be endured

[00:01:12] Each cloud as a silvery lining

[00:01:15] And we did ave young Albert insured

[00:01:19] A knock on the door came that moment

[00:01:21] As Father these kind words did speak

[00:01:24] Twas the man from Prudential e'd come for

[00:01:28] Their tuppence per person per week

[00:01:31] When Father saw oo ad been knockin'

[00:01:33] E laughed and e kept laughin so

[00:01:36] The man said Ere wot's there to laugh at

[00:01:40] Pa said You'll laugh an' all when you know

[00:01:43] Excuse im for laughing said Mother

[00:01:46] But really things appen so strange

[00:01:49] Our Albert's been et by a lion

[00:01:51] You've got to pay us for a change

[00:01:54] Said the young man from the Prudential

[00:01:57] Now come come let's understand this

[00:02:00] You don't mean to say that you've lost im

[00:02:03] Pa said Oh no we know where e is

[00:02:07] When the young man ad eard all the details

[00:02:10] A purse from is pocket he drew

[00:02:12] And e paid them with interest and bonus

[00:02:16] The sum of nine pounds four and two

[00:02:19] Pa ad scarce got is and on the money

[00:02:22] When a face at the window they see

[00:02:25] And Mother cried Eee look it's Albert

[00:02:29] And Father said Aye it would be

[00:02:32] Albert came in all excited

[00:02:35] And started is story to give

[00:02:37] And Pa said I'll never trust lions

[00:02:39] Again not as long as I live

[00:02:43] The young man from the Prudential

[00:02:45] To pick up the money began

[00:02:47] But Father said ere wait a moment

[00:02:50] Don't be in a urry young man

[00:02:53] Then giving young Albert a shilling

[00:02:55] E said Ere pop off back to the zoo

[00:02:58] Get your stick with the orse's ead andle

[00:03:01] Go and see wot the tigers can do
