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)
hands across the water 
hands across the sky
admiral halsey notified me
he had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
i had another look & i had a cup of tea 
and a butter pie 
the butter wouldn't melt so i put it in the pie
hands across the water 
hands across the sky
live a little be a gypsy get around 
get your feet up off the ground
live a little get around
