Pick Up Tha' Musket - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]
It occurred on the evening before Waterloo[00:00:08]
As troops were lined up on parade[00:00:12]
And sergeant inspecting them he were a terror[00:00:15]
Of whom every man were afraid[00:00:18]
All excepting one man[00:00:21]
Who was in the front rank[00:00:23]
A man by the name of Sam Small[00:00:25]
And he and the sergeant were both daggers drawn[00:00:29]
They thought now of each other at all[00:00:34]
As sergeant walked past he was swinging his arms[00:00:37]
And he happened to brush against Sam[00:00:41]
And knocking this musket clean out of is hand[00:00:44]
It fell in the ground with a slam[00:00:48]
Pick it up said sergeant abrupt like but cool[00:00:51]
But Sam with a shake of this head[00:00:57]
Said seeing as that knocked it out of my hand[00:01:00]
Perhaps tha'll pick the thing up instead[00:01:04]
Sam Sam pick up that musket[00:01:08]
The sergeant exclaimed with a roar[00:01:12]
Sam said that knocked it down reasoning[00:01:16]
Tha'll pick it up or it stays where this on the floor[00:01:19]
of The sound high words very soon reached[00:01:25]
The ears of an officer Lieutenant Bird[00:01:28]
Who says to the sergeant[00:01:31]
Now what's all this there[00:01:34]
And the sergeant told what had occurred[00:01:36]
Sam Sam pick up the musket[00:01:40]
Lieutenant exclaimed with some heat[00:01:46]
Sam says he knocked it down reasoning he picks it up[00:01:50]
Or it stays where it is at my feet[00:01:55]
It caused quite a stir when the Captain arrived[00:01:58]
To find out the 'cause of the trouble[00:02:02]
And every man there all excepting old Sam[00:02:05]
Was full of excitement and bubble[00:02:09]
Sam Sam pick up the musket[00:02:13]
Said Captain for strictness renowned[00:02:18]
Sam says he knocked it down reasoning he picks it up[00:02:23]
Or it stays where it is on the ground[00:02:27]
The same thing occurred when the Major and Colonel[00:02:31]
Both tried to get Sam to see sense[00:02:34]
But when old Duke of Wellington came into view[00:02:39]
Well then the excitement was tense[00:02:42]
Up rode the Duke on a lovely white horse[00:02:47]
To find out the 'cause of the bother[00:02:53]
He looked at the musket and then at old Sam[00:02:57]
And he talked to old sam like a brother[00:03:01]
Sam Sam pick up the musket the Duke[00:03:06]
Said as quiet as could be[00:03:12]

All right Duke says old Sam just for thee I'll oblige[00:03:29]
And to show thee I meant no offence[00:03:35]
So Sam picked it up gradely lead said the Duke[00:03:38]
Righto boys let battle commence[00:03:45]
