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[00:00:15]

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]

With 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 fiddling 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 camels[00:00:56]

And old ale and sandwiches too[00:01:00]

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[00:01:21]

And to see wallace lying so peaceful[00:01:25]

Well it didn't seem right to the child[00:01:28]

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

Not showing a morsel of fear[00:01:35]

Took is stick with the orse's ead andle[00:01:38]

And pushed it in wallace's ear[00:01:42]

You could see that the lion didn't like it[00:01:45]

For giving a kind of a roll[00:01:49]

He pulled albert inside the cage with 'im[00:01:53]

And swallowed the little lad whole[00:01:56]

Then pa who had seen the occurrence[00:02:00]

And didn't know what to do next[00:02:03]

Said mother yon lions et albert[00:02:06]

And mother said eeh I am vexed[00:02:12]

So Mr and Mrs ramsbottom[00:02:17]

Quite rightly when all's said and done[00:02:19]

Complained to the animal keeper[00:02:22]

That the lion had eaten their son[00:02:25]

The keeper was quite nice about it[00:02:29]

He said what a nasty mishap[00:02:32]

Are you sure that it's your boy he's eaten[00:02:36]

Pa said am I sure there's his cap[00:02:40]

So the manager had to be sent for[00:02:45]

He came and he said what's to do[00:02:48]

Pa said yon lion's eaten our albert[00:02:51]

And I'm in his sunday clothes too[00:02:54]

Then mother said right's right young feller[00:02:58]

I think it's a shame and a sin[00:03:01]

For a lion to go and eat albert[00:03:04]

The manager wanted no trouble[00:03:07]

He took out his purse right away[00:03:10]

And said how much to settle the matter[00:03:13]

And pa said what do you usually pay[00:03:16]

But mother had turned a bit awkward[00:03:20]

When she thought where her albert had gone[00:03:22]

She said no someone's got to be summonsed[00:03:25]

So that were decided upon[00:03:29]

Round they went to the police station[00:03:33]

In front of a magistrate chap[00:03:36]

They told I'm what happened to albert[00:03:38]

And proved it by showing his cap[00:03:41]

The magistrate gave his opinion[00:03:45]

That no one was really to blame[00:03:48]

He said that he hoped the ramsbottoms[00:03:51]

Would have further sons to their name[00:03:54]

At that mother got proper blazing[00:03:59]

And thank you sir kindly said she[00:04:02]

What waste all our lives raising children[00:04:05]

To feed ruddy lions not me[00:04:09]
