Текст песни: Burlington Bertie + перевод

I’m Bert, p’raps you’ve heard of me

Bert, you’ve had word of me,

Jogging along, hearty and strong

Living on plates of fresh air

I dress, up in fashion

And when I am feeling depressed

I shave from my cuff all the whiskers and fluff

Stick my hat on and toddle up West

I’m Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty

And saunter along like a toff

I stroll down the Strand with my gloves in my hand

Then I stroll down again with them off

I’m all airs and graces, correct easy paces

Without food so long I’ve forgot where my face is

I’m Bert, Bert, I haven’t a shirt

But my people are well off you know.

Nearly everyone knows me from Smith to Lord Rosebr’y,

I’m Burlington Bertie from Bow.

I’m Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty

And saunter along Temple Bar

As down there I skip

I keep shouting 'Pip Pip!'

And the darn’d fools think I’m in my car

At Rothschild’s I swank it

My body I plank it

Across his front door step with 'The Mail' for a blanket

I’m Bert, Bert, and Rothschild was hurt

He said ' You can’t sleep here' I said 'Oh'

He said 'I'm Rothschild sonny!' I said 'That's rather funny,

I’m Burlington Bertie from Bow'

I’m Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty

And reach Kempton Park about three

I stand by the rail, when a horse is for sale

And you ought to see Piggot watch me

I lean on some awning while Lord Derby’s yawning

Then he bids two thousand and I bid Good Morning

I’m Bert, Bert, I’d buy one, a cert

But where would I keep it you know

I can’t let my man see me in bed with a gee-gee

I’m Burlington Bertie from Bow!

I’m Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty

And Buckingham Palace I view.

I stand in the yard while they’re changing the guard

And the queen shouts across «Toodle oo»!

The Prince of Wales' brother along with some other

Slaps me on the back and says «Come and see Mother»

I’m Bert, Bert, and Royalty’s hurt,

When they ask me to dine I say no.

I’ve just had a banana with Lady Diana

I’m Burlington Bertie from Bow

I’m Burlington Bertie

I’m Burlington Bertie from Bow.
