You've 'eard 'ow young Albert Ramsbottom	A
In the Zoo up at Blackpool one year	B
With a stick and 'orse's 'ead 'andle	C
Gave a lion a poke in the ear	D
	-
The name of the lion was Wallace	E
The poke in the ear made 'im wild	F
And before you could say 'Bob's your Uncle '	-
'E'd up and 'e'd swallered the child	F
	-
'E were sorry the moment 'e'd done it	G
With children 'e'd always been chums	H
And besides 'e'd no teeth in 'is noodle	C
And 'e couldn't chew Albert on t'gums	H
	-
'E could feel the lad moving inside 'im	A
As 'e lay on 'is bed of dried ferns	I
And it might 'ave been little lad's birthday	J
'E wished 'im such 'appy returns	I
	-
But Albert kept kicking and fighting	K
Till Wallace arose feeling bad	L
And felt it were time that 'e started to stage	M
A come back for the lad	L
	-
So with 'is 'ead down in a corner	N
On 'is front paws 'e started to walk	O
And 'e coughed and 'e sneezed and 'e gargled	L
Till Albert shot out like a cork	P
	-
Old Wallace felt better direc'ly	C
And 'is figure once more became lean	Q
But the only difference with Albert	L
Was 'is face and 'is 'ands were quite clean	Q
	-
Meanwhile Mister and Missus Ramsbottom	A
'Ad gone 'ome to tea feeling blue	C
Ma says 'I feel down in the mouth like '	-
Pa says Aye I bet Albert does too '	-
	-
Said Ma 'It just goes for to show yer	N
That the future is never revealed	L
If I thought we was going to lose 'im	A
I'd 'ave not 'ad 'is boots soled and 'eeled	L
	-
'Let's look on the bright side ' said Father	N
'What can't be 'elped must be endured	L
Every cloud 'as a silvery lining	K
And we did 'ave young Albert insured '	-
	-
A knock at the door came that moment	L
As Father these kind words did speak	R
'Twas the man from t'Prudential	C
E'd called for their 'tuppence per person per week '	-
	-
When Father saw who 'ad been knocking	K
'E laughed and 'e kept laughing so	S
That the young man said 'What's there to laugh at '	-
Pa said 'You'll laugh an' all when you know '	-
	-
'Excuse 'im for laughing ' said Mother	N
'But really things 'appen so strange	T
Our Albert's been ate by a lion	U
You've got to pay us for a change '	-
	-
Said the young feller from the Prudential	C
'Now come come let's understand this	V
You don't mean to say that you've lost 'im '	-
Ma says 'Oh no we know where 'e is '	-
	-
When the young man 'ad 'eard all the details	W
A bag from 'is pocket he drew	C
And he paid them with interest and bonus	E
The sum of nine pounds four and two	C
	-
Pa 'ad scarce got 'is 'and on the money	X
When a face at the window they see	X
And Mother says 'Eeh look it's Albert '	-
And Father says 'Aye it would be '	-
	-
Young Albert came in all excited	L
and started 'is story to give	Y
And Pa says 'I'll never trust lions again	Z
Not as long as I live '	-
	-
The young feller from the Prudential	C
To pick up his money began	A2
And Father says 'Eeh just a moment	L
Don't be in a hurry young man '	-
	-
Then giving young Albert a shilling	K
He said 'Pop off back to the Zoo	C
'Ere's your stick with the 'orse's 'ead 'andle	C
Go and see what the Tigers can do '	-
