One day little Albert Ramsbottom	A
To see 'ow much money 'e'd got	B
Stuck a knife in 'is money box slot 'ole	C
And fiddled and fished out the lot	B
	-
It amounted to fifteen and fourpence	D
Which 'e found by a few simple sums	D
Were ninety two tuppenny ices	D
Or twice that in penn'orths of gums	D
	-
The sound of the chinkin' of money	E
Soon brought father's 'ead round the door	F
He said Whats that there on the table	C
Albert said it were Fifteen and four	F
	-
You're not going to spend all that money	E
Said Pa in an admonitory tone	G
On toffee an' things for your stomach	H
Said Mother Why not it's his own	G
	-
Said Pa Nay with that fifteen shillings	D
We'll buy National Savings and then	I
In five years we'll have seventeen and six	D
And one pound and sixpence in ten	I
	-
Young Albert weren't what you'd call eager	J
He saw his sweet dreams fade away	K
Ma said Let 'im 'ave the odd fourpence	D
Pa lovingly answered Nay nay	K
	-
It's our duty in crisis what's 'appened	B
For every child woman and man	L
To strain every muscle and sinew	L
To raise every penny we can	L
	-
He said Even this little fourpence	D
Might help us the Germans to drub	M
Then 'e dropped the four coins in 'is pocket	B
And made for the neighbouring pub	M
	-
These words stirred the 'eart of young Albert	B
He made up 'is mind then and there	N
To take up 'is part in the straining	O
And sell everything 'e could spare	N
	-
So off 'e went down to the junk shop	P
With some toys and a flashlamp he'd got	B
And the stick with the 'orses 'ead 'andle	C
He received half a crown for the lot	B
	-
He went off to the Post Office counter	J
Where National Savings was bought	B
But found that they cost fifteen shillings	D
Which meant he were twelve and six short	B
	-
The little lad wasn't down 'earted	B
He went off without wastin' words	D
And sold 'is dad's smoking companion	L
And 'is Mother's glass case of stuffed birds	D
	-
At the Post Office counter they gave 'im	A
A certificate all crisp and clean	L
Then back 'e went 'ome to his parents	D
To say what a good boy he'd been	L
	-
They didn't 'alf shout when he told 'em	A
By Gumm but 'e were in the wars	D
But at finish they 'ad to forgive 'im	A
It were all done in such a grand cause	D
	-
There's a moral of course to this story	E
That's pointing to you and to me	E
Let's all be young Alberts and tend	B
To defend the right to be free	E
