The Beefeater - Stanley Holloway[00:00:00]

Oh dear starting another day I suppose[00:00:05]

Showing these ere gumps around the Tower[00:00:11]

Still it's got to be done[00:00:14]

Someone's got to do it[00:00:16]

Good Morning What's that[00:00:18]

Will I show you around t'Tower Sir[00:00:20]

You're from Yorkshire Sir[00:00:22]

Ba goom The world's small[00:00:24]

I'm from Yorkshire meself aye[00:00:27]

These ere Cockneys don't know[00:00:28]

There's a tower here at all[00:00:30]

First of all Sir we come to the canteen[00:00:33]

Where you wash the cobwebs off your chest[00:00:36]

That's our motto there[00:00:39]

Honi soit qui may y pense[00:00:41]

And in Yorkshire that means beer is best[00:00:43]

Eh I'll have a pint Sir and thank yer[00:00:47]

You'll find it good ale to sup[00:00:50]

Well as Guy Fawkes said when he got bunged in Dungeon[00:00:54]

And tumbled head first Bottoms up[00:00:57]

That big ole outside is the moat Sir[00:01:01]

And they do say if ever John Bull[00:01:04]

Sells the tower for a road house with cracks puttied up[00:01:07]

It'll make a damn fine swimming pool[00:01:10]

And now Sir we come to armoury[00:01:14]

Here's the tin pants of Dick Coeur de Lion[00:01:18]

Just imagine the job that his old woman had[00:01:21]

Putting patches on with soldering iron[00:01:24]

Here's the shirt and the chainmail Black Prince wore[00:01:27]

To starch and iron that were real tricky[00:01:31]

It took three boilermakers to put on his shirt[00:01:34]

And a blacksmith to put on his dicky[00:01:38]

And this ere's the real eadsman's block Sir[00:01:41]

From this many eads fell with a thud[00:01:45]

Ee to keep all these ere stains fresh[00:01:48]

All these three hundred years[00:01:51]

We've used buckets and buckets of blood[00:01:53]

Ere's the axe that's the genuine axe Sir[00:01:56]

That's given Royal necks some ard whacks[00:02:00]

Tho it's ad a new andle and perhaps a new head[00:02:03]

But it's a real old original axe[00:02:07]

And down here's where Princes were murdered[00:02:11]

Aye strangled poor kids in cold blood[00:02:14]

And what's worse down here[00:02:18]

I tossed Scotsman for shilling[00:02:20]

I won but the shilling was dud[00:02:22]

And here's where they tortured the prisoners[00:02:25]

On that rack when they wouldn't confess[00:02:28]

They were crushed till their blood ran drip drip drip[00:02:31]

Feeling faint Sir Well here's sergeant's mess[00:02:38]

Eh Oh thank you I will have a pint Sir[00:02:42]

For talking's a day's work Bet your life[00:02:45]

For when I show you ducking stool they had for women[00:02:49]

By Goom you'll wish you'd brought the wife[00:02:53]

And why do they call us Beefeaters[00:02:56]

Is it couse we eat beef Sir Nay nay[00:03:00]

The sergeant eats pork and the corporal eats bacon[00:03:04]

But I eat tripe three times a day[00:03:08]

And so you shall know we're Beefeaters[00:03:11]

There's me who has fought in the wars[00:03:15]

As to walk round with frills on me neck like a hambone[00:03:18]

A daft hat and purple plus fours[00:03:22]

But here's why they call us Beefeaters[00:03:26]

King Alfred one night so they say[00:03:30]

Fell over the feet of the sentry[00:03:33]

And shouted Oi Keep your B feet out of the way[00:03:36]
