Old Sam's Christmas Pudding - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]

It was christmas day in the trenches[00:00:11]

In spain in penninsular war[00:00:14]

And sam small were cleaning his musket[00:00:17]

A thing as he'd nere done before[00:00:20]

They'd had em inspected that morning[00:00:23]

And sam had got into disgrace[00:00:26]

For when sergeant had looked down the barrel[00:00:29]

A sparrow flew out in his face[00:00:33]

The sergeant reported the matter[00:00:36]

To lieutenant bird then and there[00:00:39]

Said lieutenant how justly disgusting[00:00:42]

The duke must be told of this eye[00:00:46]

The duke were upset when he heard[00:00:49]

He said i'm astonished i am[00:00:53]

I must make a most drastic example[00:00:56]

There'll be no christmas pudding for sam[00:01:00]

When sam were informed of his sentence[00:01:04]

Surprise rooted him to the spot[00:01:07]

Twice much worse than he had expected[00:01:11]

He thought as he'd only be shot[00:01:14]

And so he sat cleaning his musket[00:01:18]

And polishing barrel and butt[00:01:21]

While the pudding his mother had sent him[00:01:25]

Lay there in the mud at his foot[00:01:28]

Now the centre that sam's lot were holding[00:01:32]

Ran around a place called badajoz[00:01:36]

Where the spaniards had put up a bastion[00:01:40]

And oh what a bastion it was[00:01:44]

They pounded away all the morning[00:01:47]

With canister grape shot and ball[00:01:50]

But the face of the bastion defied them[00:01:53]

They made no impression at all[00:01:57]

They started again after dinner[00:01:59]

Bombarding as hard as they could[00:02:02]

And the duke brought his own private cannon[00:02:05]

But that weren't day pence oh good[00:02:10]

The duke said sam put down they musket[00:02:13]

And help me lay this gun true[00:02:17]

Sam answered you'd best ask your favours[00:02:20]

From them as you give pudding to[00:02:24]

The duke looked at sam so reproachful[00:02:27]

And don't take it that way said he[00:02:32]

Us generals have got to be ruthless[00:02:35]

It hurts me more than it did there[00:02:39]

Sam sniffed at these words kind of sceptic[00:02:43]

Then looked down the duke's private gun[00:02:48]

And said we'd best put in two charges[00:02:51]

We'll never bust bastion with one[00:02:55]

He tipped cannon ball out of muzzle[00:02:59]

He took out the wadding and all[00:03:01]

He filled barrel chock full of powder[00:03:04]

Then picked up and replaced the ball[00:03:07]

He took a good aim at the bastion[00:03:10]

Then said right oh duke let her fly[00:03:13]

The cannon nigh jumped off her trunnions[00:03:18]

And up went the bastion sky high[00:03:22]

The duke he weren't alf elated[00:03:27]

He danced around trench full of glee[00:03:31]

And said sam for this gallant action[00:03:34]

You can hot up your pudding for tea[00:03:39]

Sam looked round to pick up his pudding[00:03:42]

But it wasn't there nowhere about[00:03:46]

In the place where he thought he had left it[00:03:49]

Lay the cannon ball he'd just tipped out[00:03:52]

Sam saw in a flash what ad happened[00:03:57]

By an unprecedented mishap[00:04:01]

The pudding his mother had sent him[00:04:04]

Had blown badajoz off the map[00:04:07]

That's why fuisilliers wear at today this moment[00:04:11]

A badge which they think's a grenade[00:04:15]

But they're wrong it's a brass reproduction[00:04:18]

Of the pudding sam's mother once made[00:04:23]
