Albert Evacuated - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]
Have you heard how young Albert Ramsbottom[00:00:00]
Was evacuated from home[00:00:02]
With his mother clean socks and a toothbrush[00:00:05]
Some syrup of figs and a comb[00:00:08]
The stick with the orses ead andle[00:00:10]
They decided that they'd leave behind[00:00:12]
To keep safe with the things they weren't wanting[00:00:15]
Like their gasmasks and thinks of that kind[00:00:18]
Pa saw them off at the station[00:00:21]
And shed a few crocodile tears[00:00:23]
As he waved them goodbye from the platform[00:00:27]
Twas the best break he'd had in ten years[00:00:30]
Ma got corner seat for young Albert[00:00:33]
Who amused all the rest of the team[00:00:36]
By breathing hot breaths on the window[00:00:38]
And writing some swear words in steam[00:00:41]
They arrived at last somewhere in England[00:00:45]
And straight to their billet were shown[00:00:49]
Ther was one room for mother[00:00:51]
But Albert was in a small room of his own[00:00:53]
The very first night in the blackout[00:00:57]
Young Albert performed quite a feat[00:01:00]
By hanging head first from the window[00:01:02]
And shining his torch down the street[00:01:05]
It flashed on an ARP warden[00:01:08]
Patrolling with leisurely gait[00:01:12]
Good Heavens he said it's Tarzan[00:01:15]
I'd better go investigate[00:01:19]
So reading his book of instructions[00:01:22]
To make himself doubly sure[00:01:25]
Then in an official manner[00:01:28]
Proceeded to knock on the door[00:01:30]
It was opened by Mrs Ramsbottom[00:01:33]
Now then said she what's to do[00:01:37]
And in stern air warden manner he said[00:01:40]
I'm going to interrogate you[00:01:44]
This fair upset Mrs Ramsbottom[00:01:47]
Her face was a picture to see[00:01:50]
I'll have you know you'll do nowt of the sort[00:01:52]
I'm a respectable woman said she[00:01:55]
Has your son been evacuated[00:01:57]
Said the ARP man at the door[00:02:01]
He'd all them things done as a baby said mother[00:02:03]
He's not being done anymore[00:02:06]
Be off now said Mrs Ramsbottom[00:02:08]
As she bustled him out of the porch[00:02:11]
And the ARP man patted Albert[00:02:13]
And then confiscated his torch[00:02:16]
Now that were unlucky for Albert[00:02:19]
He had no torch to see him to bed[00:02:21]
But being a bright little fellow[00:02:24]
He switched on the hal light instead[00:02:26]
Put out that light a voice shouted[00:02:30]
Where's the men of our ARP[00:02:33]
I've told them already the warden replied[00:02:36]
They take no bloody notice of me[00:02:39]
Soon Mrs Ramsbottom and Albert[00:02:42]
Were feeling quite homesick and sad[00:02:45]
So they thanked the landlady most kindly[00:02:48]
And prepared to go back home to Dad[00:02:51]
When at last they reached home to Father[00:02:54]
They were fed up and had quite enough[00:02:57]
But in the front parlour they found six young women[00:03:00]
And Father were doing his stuff[00:03:04]
Hello Mother said Mr Ramsbottom[00:03:08]
Come right on in don't be afraid[00:03:11]
When you went away I joined Ambulance Corps[00:03:14]
I'm instructing the girls in first aid[00:03:18]
First aid said Mrs Ramsbottom[00:03:22]
With a horrible look on her brow[00:03:25]
If ever you wanted first aid in your life[00:03:28]
By gum you'll be wanting it now[00:03:32]
