There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool	A
That's noted for fresh air and fun	B
And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom	C
Went there with young Albert their son	B
	-
A grand little lad was young Albert	D
All dressed in his best quite a swell	E
With a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle	E
The finest that Woolworth's could sell	E
	-
They didn't think much of the Ocean	B
The waves they were fiddlin' and small	E
There was no wrecks and nobody drownded	D
Fact nothing to laugh at at all	E
	-
So seeking for further amusement	D
They paid and went into the Zoo	F
Where they'd Lions and Tigers and Camels	G
And old ale and sandwiches too	F
	-
There were one great big Lion called Wallace	H
His nose were all covered with scars	I
He lay in a somnolent posture	J
With the side of his face on the bars	I
	-
Now Albert had heard about Lions	K
How they was ferocious and wild	D
To see Wallace lying so peaceful	E
Well it didn't seem right to the child	D
	-
So straightway the brave little feller	J
Not showing a morsel of fear	L
Took his stick with its 'orse's 'ead 'andle	E
And pushed it in Wallace's ear	M
	-
You could see that the Lion didn't like it	D
For giving a kind of a roll	E
He pulled Albert inside the cage with 'im	C
And swallowed the little lad 'ole	E
	-
Then Pa who had seen the occurrence	N
And didn't know what to do next	D
Said 'Mother Yon Lion's 'et Albert'	D
And Mother said 'Well I am vexed '	-
	-
Then Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom	C
Quite rightly when all's said and done	B
Complained to the Animal Keeper	J
That the Lion had eaten their son	B
	-
The keeper was quite nice about it	D
He said 'What a nasty mishap	O
Are you sure that it's your boy he's eaten '	-
Pa said Am I sure There's his cap '	-
	-
The manager had to be sent for	P
He came and he said 'What's to do '	-
Pa said 'Yon Lion's 'et Albert	D
'And 'im in his Sunday clothes too '	-
	-
Then Mother said 'Right's right young feller	J
I think it's a shame and a sin	Q
For a lion to go and eat Albert	D
And after we've paid to come in '	-
	-
The manager wanted no trouble	E
He took out his purse right away	R
Saying 'How much to settle the matter '	-
And Pa said What do you usually pay '	-
	-
But Mother had turned a bit awkward	D
When she thought where her Albert had gone	S
She said 'No someone's got to be summonsed'	D
So that was decided upon	T
	-
Then off they went to the P'lice Station	B
In front of the Magistrate chap	O
They told 'im what happened to Albert	D
And proved it by showing his cap	O
	-
The Magistrate gave his opinion	B
That no one was really to blame	C
And he said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms	N
Would have further sons to their name	C
	-
At that Mother got proper blazing	U
'And thank you sir kindly ' said she	V
'What waste all our lives raising children	B
To feed ruddy Lions Not me '	-
