Burlington Bertie From Bow (Album Version) - Julie Andrews

I'm Bert praps you've heard of me

Bert you've had word of me

Jogging along hearty and strong

Living on plates of fresh air

I dress I dress up in fashion

And when I am feeling depressed

I shave from my cuff all the whiskers and fluff

Stick my hat on and toddle up West

I'm Burlington Bertie

I rise at ten thirty

And saunter along like a toff

I walk down the Strand with my gloves on my hand

Then I walk down again with them off

I'm all airs and graces correct easy paces

Without food so long

I've forgot where my face is

I'm Bert Bert I haven't a shirt

But my people are well off you know

Nearly everyone knows me from

Smith to Lord Rosebry

I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow

I smile condescendingly

While they're extending me

Cheer upon cheer when I appear

Captain with my polo team

So strict So strict are my people

They're William the Conqueror's strain

If they ever knew I'd been talking to you

Why they'd never look at me again

I'm Burlington Bertie I rise at ten thirty

And saunter along Temple Bar

As round there I skip

I keep shouting Pip Pip

And the darnd fools think I'm in my car

At Rothchilds I swank it

My body I plank it

On his front door step with

The Mail for a blanket

I'm Bert Bert and Rothchild was hurt

He said You can't sleep there I said Oh

He said I'm Rothchild sonny

I said That's damnd funny

I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow

Now I'm Buckingham Palace I view

I stand in the yard while they're changing the guard

And the queen shouts across Toodle oo

The Prince of Wales brother along with some other

Slaps me on the back and says

Come and see Mother

But I'm Bert Bert and Royalty's hurt

When they ask me to dine I say no

I've just had a banana with Lady Diana

I'm Burlington Bertie

I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow
