Jubilee Sovereign - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]

Written by：Marriott Edgar[00:00:01]

On jubilee day the ramsbottoms[00:00:07]

Asked all their relations to tea[00:00:10]

Including young albert's grandmother[00:00:13]

An awkward old party were she[00:00:16]

She'd seen queen victoria's jub lee[00:00:19]

And her wedding to albert the good[00:00:22]

But got quite upset when young albert[00:00:25]

Asked how she'd got on in the flood[00:00:28]

She cast quite a damper on party[00:00:31]

But cheered up a bit after tea[00:00:34]

And gave albert a real golden sovrin[00:00:37]

She'd saved since the last jubilee[00:00:41]

It had picture of queen on the one side[00:00:44]

And a dragon fight on the reverse[00:00:47]

And tasted of camphor and cobwebs[00:00:50]

Through being so long in her purse[00:00:53]

Albert cuddled the coin and he kissed it[00:00:57]

And felt the rough edge with his tongue[00:01:01]

For he knew by the look of his father[00:01:05]

It wouldn't be his very longer[00:01:07]

Shall I get your money box alber[00:01:11]

Said mother so coaxing and sweet[00:01:14]

But albert let drop an expression[00:01:17]

He must have picked up in the street[00:01:20]

I'll show you a trick with that sovrin[00:01:23]

Said pa who were hovering near[00:01:26]

Then he took and pretended to eat it[00:01:29]

Then brought it back out of his ear[00:01:32]

This magic filled albert with wonder[00:01:35]

And before you could say uncle dick[00:01:39]

He'd got the coin back from his father[00:01:42]

And performed the first part of the trick[00:01:44]

When they saw as he'd swallered his suffering[00:01:48]

With excitement his relatives burned[00:01:52]

And each one suggested some process[00:01:55]

For getting the money returned[00:01:59]

Some were for fishing with tweezers[00:02:02]

Well some were for shaking it out[00:02:05]

If they only got back a few shillings[00:02:08]

They said would be better of the nowt[00:02:11]

They tried holding albert head downwards[00:02:15]

And giving his back a good thump[00:02:18]

Realse uncle who worked for a chemist[00:02:21]

Said there's nowt for it but stummick pump[00:02:24]

They hadn't a stummick pump andy[00:02:29]

But pa did the best that he could[00:02:31]

With a bicycle pump as he'd borrowed[00:02:34]

But that weren't a haporth of good[00:02:37]

At the last they to came to the doctor[00:02:40]

Who looked down his throat through a glass[00:02:42]

And said this'll mean operation[00:02:46]

He afraid out to laugh to have gas[00:02:48]

How much is this were going to cost us[00:02:52]

Said father beginning to squirm[00:02:55]

Said the doctor it comes quite expensive[00:02:58]

The best gas is it eightpence a therm[00:03:01]

There's my time four shillings an hour[00:03:05]

You can't do these things in two ticks[00:03:08]

By rights I should charge you a guinea[00:03:11]

But I'll do it for eighteen and six[00:03:14]

What eighteen and six to get sovrin said father[00:03:18]

That doesn't sound sense[00:03:22]

I'll tell you what you'd best keep[00:03:25]

Albert and give me the odd eighteen pence[00:03:27]

The doctor concurred this arrangement[00:03:32]

But to this day is stands in some doubt[00:03:35]

As to whether he's in eighteen shillings[00:03:38]

Or whether he's eighteen pence out[00:03:41]
