Magna Charta

Magna Charta

I'll tell of the Magna Charter

As were signed at the Barons' command

On Runningmead Island in t' middle of t' Thames

By King John, as were known as "Lack Land."

Some say it were wrong of the Barons

Their will on the King so to thrust,

But you'll see if you look at both sides of the case

That they had to do something, or bust.

Sam's Christmas Pudding

Sam's Christmas Pudding

It was Christmas Day in the trenches

In Spain in Penninsular War,

And Sam Small were cleaning his musket

A thing as he'd ne're done before.

They'd had 'em inspected that morning

And Sam had got into disgrace,

For when sergeant had looked down the barrel

A sparrow flew out in his face.

Albert And The 'Eadsman

Albert And The 'Eadsman

On young Albert Ramsbottom's birthday

His parents asked what he'd like most;

He said to see t' Tower of London

And gaze upon Anne Boleyn's ghost.

They thowt this request were unusual

And at first to refuse were inclined,

'Til Pa said a trip t' metrollopse

Might broaden the little lad's mind.

Albert And His Savings

Albert And His Savings

One day, little Albert Ramsbottom

To see 'ow much money 'e'd got

Stuck a knife in 'is money-box slot 'ole

And fiddled and fished out the lot.

It amounted to fifteen and fourpence

Which 'e found by a few simple sums

Were ninety two tuppenny ices

Or twice that in penn'orths of gums.

The Recumbent Posture

The Recumbent Posture

The day after Christmas, young Albert

Were what's called, confined to his bed,

With a tight kind of pain in his stummick

And a light feeling up in his head.

His parents were all in a fluster

When they saw little lad were so sick,

They said, 'Put out your tongue!', When they'd seen it

They said, 'Put it back again - quick!'

Albert's Return

Albert's Return

You've `eard `ow young Albert Ramsbottom

At the zoo up at Blackpool one year

With a stick with an `orse's `ead `andle

Gave a lion a poke in the ear?

The name of the lion was Wallace,

The poke in the ear made `im wild

And before you could say "Bob's yer uncle"

E'd upped and `e'd swallowed the child.

The 'Ole In The Ark

The 'Ole In The Ark

One evening at dusk as Noah stood on his Ark,

Putting green oil in starboard side lamp,

His wife came along and said, 'Noah, summat's wrong,

Our cabin is getting quite damp.

Noah said, 'Is that so?' Then he went down below,

And found it were right what she'd said,

For there on the floor quite a puddle he saw,

It was slopping around under t' bed.

The Battle Of Hastings

The Battle Of Hastings

I'll tell of the Battle of Hastings,

As happened in days long gone by,

When Duke William became King of England,

And 'Arold got shot in the eye.

It were this way - one day in October

The Duke, who were always a toff

Having no battles on at the moment,

Had given his lads a day off.

The Lion and Albert

The Lion and Albert

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool,

That's noted for fresh air and fun,

And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom

Went there with young Albert, their son.

A grand little lad was young Albert,

All dressed in his best; quite a swell

With a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle,

The finest that Woolworth's could sell.
