Brother Bertie went away |
| [00:06.666] |
To do his bit the other day |
| [00:09.867] |
With a smile on his lips |
| [00:11.295] |
And his Lieutenant's pips |
| [00:12.914] |
Upon his shoulder, bright and gay |
| [00:16.210] |
As the train moved out he said |
| [00:19.235] |
"Remember me to all the birds" |
| [00:22.399] |
Then he wagged his paw |
| [00:23.950] |
And went off to war |
| [00:25.389] |
Shouting out these pathetic words: |
| [00:28.282] |
|
| [00:29.022] |
Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee! |
| [00:31.846] |
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee |
| [00:34.910] |
Though it's hard to part I know, (I know) |
| [00:38.104] |
I'll be tickled to death to go! |
| [00:41.225] |
Don't cry-ee, don't sigh-ee |
| [00:44.580] |
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee! |
| [00:47.546] |
Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin |
| [00:50.574] |
Nah-poo, toodle-oo, goodbye-ee! |
| [00:53.659] |
|
| [00:57.344] |
At the concert down at Kew |
| [01:00.172] |
The convalescents, dressed in blue |
| [01:03.309] |
Had to hear Lady Lee |
| [01:04.899] |
Who had turned eighty three |
| [01:06.382] |
Sing the old old songs she knew |
| [01:09.637] |
Then she made a speech and said |
| [01:12.875] |
"I look upon you boys with pride |
| [01:15.703] |
And for what you've done |
| [01:17.276] |
I'm going to kiss each one!" |
| [01:18.781] |
They they all grabbed their sticks and cried: |
| [01:21.827] |
|
| [01:22.107] |
Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee! |
| [01:25.202] |
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee |
| [01:28.235] |
Though it's hard to part I know, (I know) |
| [01:31.789] |
I'll be tickled to death to go! |
| [01:34.406] |
Don't cry-ee, don't sigh-ee |
| [01:38.037] |
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee! |
| [01:40.597] |
Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin |
| [01:43.745] |
Nah-poo, toodle-oo, goodbye-ee! |
| [01:47.055] |

| [01:50.330] |
Little Private Patrick Shaw |
| [01:53.324] |
He was a prisoner of war |
| [01:56.463] |
Till the Hun with a gun |
| [01:57.914] |
Called him "pig dog" for fun |
| [01:59.463] |
Then Paddy punched him on the jaw! |
| [02:02.640] |
Right across the barbed wire fence |
| [02:05.685] |
The German dropped, then, dear oh dear! |
| [02:08.785] |
All the wire gave way |
| [02:10.295] |
And Paddy yelled "hooray!" |
| [02:11.814] |
As he ran for the Dutch frontier! |
| [02:14.605] |
|
| [02:15.090] |
Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee! |
| [02:18.098] |
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee |
| [02:21.055] |
Though it's hard to part I know, (I know) |
| [02:24.559] |
I'll be tickled to death to go! |
| [02:27.164] |
Don't cry-ee, don't sigh-ee |
| [02:30.787] |
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee! |
| [02:33.493] |
Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin |
| [02:36.382] |
Nah-poo, toodle-oo, goodbye-ee! |
