You've eard ow young Albert RamsbottomA
At the zoo up at Blackpool one yearB
With a stick with an orse's ead andleC
Gave a lion a poke in the earD
-
The name of the lion was WallaceE
The poke in the ear made im wildF
And before you could say Bob's yer uncleC
E'd upped and e'd swallowed the childF
-
E were sorry the moment e done itG
With children e'd always been chumsH
And besides e'd no teeth in his muzzleC
And e couldn't chew Albert on't gumsH
-
E could feel the lad movin' inside imA
As e lay on is bed of dried fernsI
And it might ave been little lad's birthdayJ
E wished im such appy returnsI
-
But Albert kept kickin' and fightin'K
And Wallace got up feelin' badL
Decided 'twere time that e startedM
To stage a comeback for the ladL
-
Then puttin' ead down in one cornerN
On is front paws e started to walkO
And e coughed and e sneezed and e gargledL
Till Albert shot out like a corkP
-
Now Wallace felt better directlyC
And is figure once more became leanQ
But the only difference with Albert WasR
is face and is ands were quite cleanQ
-
Meanwhile Mr and Mrs RamsbottomA
Ad gone back to their tea feelin' blueC
Ma said I feel down in the mouth likeS
Pa said Aye I bet Albert does tooC
-
Said Mother It just goes to show yerN
That the future is never revealedL
If I'd thowt we was goin' to lose imA
I'd ave not ad is boots soled and eeledL
-
Let's look on the bright side said FatherN
Wot can't be elped must be enduredL
Each cloud as a silvery liningT
And we did ave young Albert insuredL
-
A knock on the door came that momentL
As Father these kind words did speakU
Twas the man from Prudential e'd come forV
Their tuppence per person per weekU
-
When Father saw oo ad been knockin'Q
E laughed and e kept laughin soW
The man said Ere wot's there to laugh atL
Pa said You'll laugh and all when you knowW
-
Excuse im for laughing said MotherN
But really things appen so strangeX
Our Albert's been et by a lionQ
You've got to pay us for a changeX
-
Said the young man from the PrudentialC
Now come come let's understand thisY
You don't mean to say that you've lost imA
Pa said Oh no we know where e isZ
-
When the young man ad eard all the detailsA2
A purse from is pocket he drewC
And e paid them with interest and bonusE
The sum of nine pounds four and twoC
-
Pa ad scarce got is and on the moneyQ
When a face at the window they seeQ
And Mother cried Eee look it's AlbertL
And Father said Aye it would beQ
-
Albert came in all excitedL
And started is story to giveB2
And Pa said I'll never trust lionsC2
Again not as long as I liveD2
-
The young man from the PrudentialC
To pick up the money beganQ
But Father said ere wait a momentL
Don't be in a urry young manQ
-
Then giving young Albert a shillingT
E said Ere pop off back to the zooC
Get your stick with the orse's ead andleC
Go and see wot the tigers can doC
