The Lion And Albert - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool[00:00:12]

That's noted for fresh air and fun[00:00:16]

And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom[00:00:18]

Went there with young Alberttheir son[00:00:21]

A grand little lad was their Albert[00:00:24]

All dressed in his best quite a swell[00:00:27]

E'd a stick with an orse's ead andle[00:00:30]

The finest that Woolworth's could sell[00:00:33]

They didn't think much to the ocean[00:00:36]

The waves they was fiddlin and small[00:00:39]

There was no wrecks nobody drownded[00:00:43]

Fact nothing to laugh at at all[00:00:47]

So seeking for further amusement[00:00:50]

They paid and went into the zoo[00:00:53]

Where they'd lions and tigers and cam els[00:00:56]

And old ale and sandwiches too[00:00:59]

There were one great big lion called Wallace[00:01:03]

His nose were all covered with scars[00:01:07]

He lay in a som no lent posture[00:01:11]

With the side of his face to the bars[00:01:14]

Now Albert had heard about lions[00:01:18]

How they were ferocious and wild[00:01:20]

And to see Wallace lying so peaceful[00:01:24]

Well it didn't seem right to the child[00:01:27]

So straight way the brave little feller[00:01:31]

Not showing a morsel of fear[00:01:34]

Took is stick with the orse's ead andle[00:01:37]

And pushed it in Wallace's ear[00:01:41]

You could see that the lion didn't like it[00:01:44]

For giving a kind of a roll[00:01:48]

He pulled Albert inside the cage with im[00:01:51]

And swallowed the little lad whole[00:01:55]

Then Pa who had seen the occurrence[00:01:59]

And didn't know what to do next[00:02:02]

Said Mother Yon lions et Albert[00:02:05]

And Mother said Eeh I am vexed[00:02:10]

So Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom[00:02:16]

Quite rightly when all's said and done[00:02:18]

Complained to the Animal Keeper[00:02:21]

That the lion had eaten their son[00:02:24]

The keeper was quite nice about it[00:02:27]

He said What a nasty mishap[00:02:31]

Are you sure that it's your lad he's eaten[00:02:34]

Pa said Am I sure There's his cap[00:02:38]

So the manager had to be sent for[00:02:43]

He came and he said What's to do[00:02:46]

Pa said Yon lion's eaten our Albert[00:02:49]

And im in his Sunday clothes too[00:02:52]

Then Mother said Right's right young feller[00:02:56]

I think it's a shame and a sin[00:03:00]

For a lion to go and eat Albert[00:03:02]

And after we've paid to come in[00:03:05]

The manager wanted no trouble[00:03:09]

He took out his purse right away[00:03:11]

And said How much to settle the matter[00:03:15]

And Pa said What do you usually pay[00:03:18]

But Mother had turned a bit awkward[00:03:21]

When she thought where her Albert had gone[00:03:24]

She said No someone's got to be summonsed[00:03:27]

So that were decided upon[00:03:31]

Round they went to the Police Station[00:03:34]

In front of a Magistrate chap[00:03:37]

They told im what happened to Albert[00:03:40]

And proved it by showing his cap[00:03:42]

The Magistrate gave his o pinion[00:03:45]

That no one was really to blame[00:03:49]

He said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms[00:03:53]

Would have further sons to their name[00:03:55]

At that Mother got proper blazing[00:04:00]

And thank you sir kindly said she[00:04:03]

What waste all our lives raising children[00:04:06]

To feed ruddy lions Not me[00:04:10]
