TXT The Lion and Albert-The Houghton Weavers 文本歌词

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool

That's noted for fresh-air and fun

And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom

Went there with young Albert their son

A grand little lad was their Albert

All dressed in his best; quite a swell

'E'd a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle

The finest that Woolworth's could sell

They didn't think much to the ocean

The waves they was fiddlin' and small

There was no wrecks nobody drownded

'Fact nothing to laugh at at all

So seeking for further amusement

They paid and went into the zoo

Where they'd lions and tigers and cam-els

Old ale and sandwiches too

There were one great big lion called Wallace

His nose were all covered with scars

He lay in a som-no-lent posture

With the side of his face to the bars

Now Albert had heard about lions

How they were ferocious and wild

And to see Wallace lying so peaceful

Well it didn't seem right to the child

So straight 'way brave little feller

Not showing a morsel of fear

Took 'is stick with the'orse's 'ead 'andle

And pushed it in Wallace's ear

You could see that the lion didn't like it

For giving a kind of a roll

He pulled Albert inside the cage with 'im

And swallowed the little lad whole

Then Pa who had seen the occurrence

And didn't know what to do next

Said "Mother Yon lions 'et Albert"

And Mother said "Eeh I am vexed "

So Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom

Quite rightly when all's said and done

Complained to the Animal Keeper

That the lion had eaten their son

The keeper was quite nice about it

He said "What a nasty mishap

Are you sure that it's your lad he's eaten "

And Pa said "Am I sure There's his cap "

So the manager had to be sent for

He came and he said "What's to do "

Pa said "Yon lion's 'eaten our Albert

And 'im in his Sunday clothes too "

Then Mother said "Right's right young feller

I think it's a shame and a sin

For a lion to go and eat Albert

And after we've paid to come in "

The manager wanted no trouble

He took out his purse right away

And said "How you much to settle the matter "

And Pa said "What do you usually pay "

But Mother had turned a bit awkward

When she thought where her Albert had gone

She said "No someone's got to be summonsed"

So that were decided upon

Round they went to the Police Station

In front of a Magistrate chap

They told 'im what happened to Albert

And proved it by showing his cap

The Magistrate gave his o-pinion

That no-one was really to blame

Honey said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms

Would have further sons to their name

At that Mother got proper blazing

"And thank you sir kindly " said she

"What waste all our lives raising children

To feed ruddy lions Not me "
