“Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey”

 

We’re so sorry, uncle albert,

We’re so sorry if we caused you any pain.

We’re so sorry, uncle albert,

But there’s no one left at home

And i believe i’m gonna rain.

 

We’re so sorry but we haven’t heard a thing all day,

We’re so sorry, uncle albert,

But if anything should happen

We’ll be sure to give a ring.

 

“we’re so sorry, uncle albert,

But we haven’t done a bloody thing all day.

We’re so sorry, uncle albert,

But the kettle’s on the boil

And we’re so eas’ly called away.”

 

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,

Doo-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,

Uh-uh –

 

Hands across the water, heads across the sky,

Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

 

Admiral halsey notified me,

He had to have a berth or he couldn’t get to sea.

I had another look and i had a cup of tea and a butter pie.

 

 

“couldn’t put it in something else

So i pulled it in the pie, alright!”

 

Hands across the water, heads across the sky,

Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

 

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,

Get your feet up off the ground,

Live a little, get around.

 

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,

Get your feet up off the ground,

Live a little, get around.

 

Hands across the water, heads across the sky,

Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

 

– jeg ved ikke helt, hvor den kom fra. Men det er en af de sange fra Paul McCarteys album Ram, som jeg fra første gennemlytning har holdt mest af. En skæv tekst og musikalsk legestue fra McCartney.
