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

I had three brothers[00:00:03]

Harold and Robert and James[00:00:06]

All of them tall and handsome[00:00:09]

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[00:00:20]

For ever and evermore[00:00:22]

Oh I was allowed to fetch and carry[00:00:25]

For my three brothers[00:00:29]

Jim and Bob and Harry[00:00:33]

All of my brothers[00:00:40]

Harry and Jim and Bob[00:00:43]

Grew to be good and clever[00:00:45]

Each of them at his job[00:00:48]

And I was allowed to wait on them[00:00:52]

To be their slave complete[00:00:54]

I was allowed to work for them[00:00:56]

And life for me was sweet[00:00:58]

For I was allowed to fetch and carry[00:01:02]

For my three brothers[00:01:05]

Jim and Bob and Harry[00:01:09]

Jim went out to South Africa[00:01:16]

Bob went out to Ceylon[00:01:19]

Harry went out to New Zealand[00:01:21]

And settled in Wellington[00:01:24]

And the grass grew high on the cricket pitch[00:01:26]

And the tennis court went to hay[00:01:30]

And the place was too big and too silent[00:01:34]

After they went away[00:01:38]

So I turned it into a guest house[00:01:41]

After our parents died[00:01:44]

And I wrote to the boys every Sunday[00:01:47]

And once a year they replied[00:01:50]

All of them married eventually[00:01:53]

I wrote to their wives of course[00:01:57]

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

Well it might to been very much worse[00:02:05]

And now I have nine nieces[00:02:08]

Most of them home at school[00:02:12]

I have them all to stay here[00:02:15]

For the holidays as a rule[00:02:18]

And I am allowed to week a them[00:02:22]

To do odd jobs galore[00:02:24]

I am allowed to slave for them[00:02:26]

And life is sweet once more[00:02:28]

For I am allowed to fetch and carry[00:02:32]

For the children of Jim and Bob and Harry[00:02:36]
