Our Aunt Hanna's passed away [00:00:08]
We 'ad her funeral today [00:00:10]
And it was a posh affair [00:00:10]
Had to have two p'licemen there [00:00:12]
The 'earse was luv'ly all plate glass [00:00:14]
And wot a corfin oak and brass [00:00:17]
We'd fah-sands weepin' flahers galore [00:00:20]
But Jim our cousin what d'yer fink 'e wore [00:00:23]
Why brahn boots [00:00:27]
I ask yer brahn boots [00:00:30]
Fancy coming to a funeral[00:00:33]
In brahn boots [00:00:35]
I will admit 'e 'ad a nice black tie [00:00:37]
Black fingernails and a nice black eye;[00:00:39]
But yer can't see people orf when they die [00:00:43]
In brahn boots [00:00:46]
And Aunt 'ad been so very good to 'im [00:00:49]
Done all that any muvver could for 'im [00:00:52]
And Jim her son to show his clars [00:00:54]
Rolls up to make it all a farce [00:00:58]
In brahn boots [00:01:00]
I ask yer brahn boots [00:01:03]
While all the rest [00:01:05]
Wore decent black and mourning suits [00:01:07]
I'll own he didn't seem so gay [00:01:10]
In fact he cried most part the way [00:01:14]
But straight he reg'lar spoilt our day [00:01:18]
Wiv 'is brahn boots [00:01:22]
In the graveyard we left Jim [00:01:27]
None of us said much to him [00:01:29]
Yus we all gave 'im the bird [00:01:32]
Then by accident we 'eard [00:01:35]
'E'd given 'is black boots to Jim Small [00:01:38]
A bloke wot 'ad no boots at all [00:01:41]
So p'raps Aunt Hanna doesn't mind [00:01:44]
She did like people who was good and kind [00:01:47]
But brahn boots [00:01:53]
I ask yer brahn boots [00:01:56]
Fancy coming to a funeral [00:01:59]
In brahn boots [00:02:01]
And we could 'ear the neighbours all remark[00:02:04]
"What 'im chief mourner Wot a blooming lark [00:02:07]
"Why 'e looks more like a Bookmaker's clerk [00:02:10]
In brahn boots "[00:02:14]
That's why we 'ad to be so rude to 'im [00:02:17]
That's why we never said "Ow do " to 'im [00:02:20]
We didn't know he didn't say [00:02:24]
He'd give 'is other boots away [00:02:28]
But brahn boots [00:02:33]
I ask yer brahn boots [00:02:38]
While all the rest [00:02:45]
Wore decent black and mourning suits [00:02:48]
But some day up at Heavens gate [00:02:55]
Poor Jim all nerves will stand and wait [00:02:59]
'Til an angel whispers "Come in Mate [00:03:06]
"Where's yer brahn boots "[00:03:16]
