Albert Comes Back - Stanley Holloway
You've eard ow young Albert Ramsbottom
At the zoo up at Blackpool one year
With a stick with an orse's ead andle
Gave a lion a poke in the ear
The name of the lion was Wallace
The poke in the ear made im wild
And before you could say Bob's yer uncle
Ed upped and e'd swallowed the child
E were sorry the moment e done it
With children e'd always been chums
And besides e'd no teeth in his muzzle
And e couldn't chew Albert on't gums
E could feel the lad movin inside im
As e lay on is bed of dried ferns
And it might ave been little lad's birthday
E wished im such appy returns
Meanwhile Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Ad gone back to their tea feelin' blue
Ma said I feel down in the mouth like
Pa said Aye I bet Albert does too
Said Mother It just goes to show yer
That the future is never revealed
If I'd thowt we was goin' to lose im
I'd ave not ad is boots soled and eeled
Let's look on the bright side said Father
Wot can't be elped must be endured
Each cloud as a silvery lining
And we did ave young Albert insured
A knock on the door came that moment
As Father these kind words did speak
Twas the man from Prudential e'd come for
Their tuppence per person per week
When Father saw oo ad been knockin'
E laughed and e kept laughin so
The man said Ere wot's there to laugh at
Pa said You'll laugh an' all when you know
Excuse im for laughing said Mother
But really things appen so strange
Our Albert's been et by a lion
You've got to pay us for a change
Said the young man from the Prudential
Now come come let's understand this
You don't mean to say that you've lost im
Pa said Oh no we know where e is
When the young man ad eard all the details
A purse from is pocket he drew
And e paid them with interest and bonus
The sum of nine pounds four and two
Pa ad scarce got is and on the money
When a face at the window they see
And Mother cried Eee look it's Albert
And Father said Aye it would be
Albert came in all excited
And started is story to give
And Pa said I'll never trust lions
Again not as long as I live
The young man from the Prudential
To pick up the money began
But Father said ere wait a moment
Don't be in a urry young man
Then giving young Albert a shilling
E said Ere pop off back to the zoo
Get your stick with the orse's ead andle
Go and see wot the tigers can do
