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

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool[00:00:02]

That's noted for fresh air and fun[00:00:04]

And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom[00:00:07]

Went there with young Albert their son[00:00:09]

A grand little lad was young Albert[00:00:11]

All dressed in his best quite a swell[00:00:13]

With a stick with an orse's ead andle[00:00:16]

The finest that Woolworth's could sell[00:00:18]

They didn't think much to the ocean[00:00:21]

The waves they was fiddling and small[00:00:23]

There was no wrecks and nobody drownded[00:00:25]

Fact nothing to laugh at at all[00:00:29]

So seeking for further amusement[00:00:31]

They paid and went into the zoo[00:00:33]

Where they'd lions and tigers and cam els[00:00:36]

And old ale and sandwiches too[00:00:39]

There were one great big lion called Wallace[00:00:41]

His nose was all covered with scars[00:00:45]

He lay in a som no lent posture[00:00:47]

With the side of his face on the bars[00:00:51]

Now Albert had heard about lions[00:00:53]

How they were ferocious and wild[00:00:56]

To see Wallace lying so peaceful[00:00:58]

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

So straight way the brave little feller[00:01:04]

Not showing a morsel of fear[00:01:06]

Took is stick with these orse's ead andle[00:01:09]

And shoved it in Wallace's ear[00:01:11]

You could see that the lion didn't like it[00:01:14]

For giving a kind of a roll[00:01:17]

He pulled Albert inside the cage with him[00:01:19]

And swallowed the little lad whole[00:01:22]

Then Pa who had seen the occurrence[00:01:25]

And didn't know what to do next[00:01:28]

Said Mother Yon lions ate Albert[00:01:30]

And Mother said Eeh I am vexed[00:01:35]

Then Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom[00:01:38]

Quite rightly when all's said and done[00:01:40]

Complained to the Animal Keeper[00:01:42]

That the lion had eaten their son[00:01:44]

The keeper was quite nice about it[00:01:47]

He said What a nasty mishap[00:01:50]

Are you sure that it's your boy he's eaten[00:01:53]

Pa said Am I sure There's his cap[00:01:56]

The manager had to be sent for[00:01:59]

He came and he said What's to do[00:02:01]

Pa said Yon lion's eaten Albert[00:02:04]

And him in his Sunday clothes too[00:02:06]

Then Mother said Right's right young feller[00:02:09]

I think it's a shame and a sin[00:02:11]

For a lion to go and eat Albert[00:02:14]

And after we've paid to come in[00:02:16]

The manager wanted no trouble[00:02:18]

He took out his purse right away[00:02:20]

Saying How much to settle the matter[00:02:22]

Pa said What do you usually pay[00:02:25]

But Mother had turned a bit awkward[00:02:28]

When she thought where her Albert had gone[00:02:30]

She said No someone's got to be summonsed[00:02:33]

So that was decided upon[00:02:36]

Then after they went to the Police Station[00:02:38]

In front of a Magistrate chap[00:02:40]

They told him what happened to Albert[00:02:42]

And proved it by showing his cap[00:02:45]

The Magistrate gave his opinion[00:02:47]

That no one was really to blame[00:02:50]

And he said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms[00:02:53]

Would have further sons to their name[00:02:56]

At that Mother got proper blazing[00:02:59]

And thank you sir kindly said she[00:03:01]

What waste all our lives raising children[00:03:05]

To feed ruddy lions Not me[00:03:08]
