Three Brothers - Joyce Grenfell[00:00:00]

I had three Brothers,[00:00:04]

Harold and Robert and James,[00:00:07]

All of them tall and handsome,[00:00:10]

All of them good at games.[00:00:13]

And I was allowed to field for them,[00:00:16]

To bowl to them, to score:[00:00:18]

I was allowed to slave for them[00:00:21]

For ever and evermore.[00:00:23]

Oh, I was allowed to fetch and carry[00:00:26]

For my Three Brothers,[00:00:30]

Jim and Bob and Harry.[00:00:34]

All of my brothers,[00:00:41]

Harry and Jim and Bob,[00:00:44]

Grew to be good and clever,[00:00:47]

Each of them at his job.[00:00:50]

And I was allowed to wait on them,[00:00:53]

To be their slave complete.[00:00:56]

I was allowed to work for them,[00:00:58]

And life for me was sweet,[00:01:00]

For I was allowed to fetch and carry[00:01:04]

For my Three Brothers,[00:01:08]

Jim and Bob and Harry.[00:01:12]

Jim went out to South Africa,[00:01:19]

Bob went out to Ceylon.[00:01:21]

Harry went out to New Zealand[00:01:24]

And settled in Wellington.[00:01:27]

And the grass grew high on the cricket pitch,[00:01:29]

And the tennis court went to hay,[00:01:33]

And the place was too big and too silent[00:01:37]

After they went away.[00:01:41]

So I turned it into a Guest House[00:01:44]

After our parents died,[00:01:48]

And I wrote to the boys every Sunday,[00:01:51]

And once a year they replied.[00:01:54]

All of them married eventually,[00:01:57]

I wrote to their wives, of course,[00:02:00]

Their wives wrote back on postcards[00:02:04]

Well it might to been very much worse.[00:02:09]

And now I have nine nieces,[00:02:12]

Most of them home at school.[00:02:16]

I have them all to stay here[00:02:19]

For the holidays as a rule.[00:02:23]

And I am allowed to week a them,[00:02:26]

To do odd jobs galore.[00:02:28]

I am allowed to slave for them,[00:02:30]

And life is sweet once more,[00:02:33]

For I am allowed to fetch and carry[00:02:37]

For the children of Jim and Bob and Harry.[00:02:41]
