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 easily called away

Hand across the water (water)

Heads across the sky

Hand across the water (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 (a butter pie?)

(The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie)

Hand across the water (water)

Heads across the sky

Hand across the water (water)

Heads across the sky

Live a little be a gypsy, get around (get around)

Get your feet up off the ground

Live a little, get around

Live a little be a gypsy, get around (get around)

Get your feet up off the ground

Live a little, get around

Hand across the water (water)

Heads across the sky

Hand across the water (water)

Heads across the sky

Oh, oh
