[00:03.359] Brother Bertie went away
[00:06.666] To do his bit the other day
[00:09.867] With a smile on his lips
[00:11.295] And his Lieutenant's pips
[00:12.914] Upon his shoulder, bright and gay
[00:16.210] As the train moved out he said
[00:19.235] "Remember me to all the birds"
[00:22.399] Then he wagged his paw
[00:23.950] And went off to war
[00:25.389] Shouting out these pathetic words:
[00:28.282]
[00:29.022] Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee!
[00:31.846] Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee
[00:34.910] Though it's hard to part I know, (I know)
[00:38.104] I'll be tickled to death to go!
[00:41.225] Don't cry-ee, don't sigh-ee
[00:44.580] There's a silver lining in the sky-ee!
[00:47.546] Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin
[00:50.574] Nah-poo, toodle-oo, goodbye-ee!
[00:53.659]
[00:57.344] At the concert down at Kew
[01:00.172] The convalescents, dressed in blue
[01:03.309] Had to hear Lady Lee
[01:04.899] Who had turned eighty three
[01:06.382] Sing the old old songs she knew
[01:09.637] Then she made a speech and said
[01:12.875] "I look upon you boys with pride
[01:15.703] And for what you've done
[01:17.276] I'm going to kiss each one!"
[01:18.781] They they all grabbed their sticks and cried:
[01:21.827]
[01:22.107] Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee!
[01:25.202] Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee
[01:28.235] Though it's hard to part I know, (I know)
[01:31.789] I'll be tickled to death to go!
[01:34.406] Don't cry-ee, don't sigh-ee
[01:38.037] There's a silver lining in the sky-ee!
[01:40.597] Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin
[01:43.745] Nah-poo, toodle-oo, goodbye-ee!
[01:47.055]
[01:50.330] Little Private Patrick Shaw
[01:53.324] He was a prisoner of war
[01:56.463] Till the Hun with a gun
[01:57.914] Called him "pig dog" for fun
[01:59.463] Then Paddy punched him on the jaw!
[02:02.640] Right across the barbed wire fence
[02:05.685] The German dropped, then, dear oh dear!
[02:08.785] All the wire gave way
[02:10.295] And Paddy yelled "hooray!"
[02:11.814] As he ran for the Dutch frontier!
[02:14.605]
[02:15.090] Goodbye-ee! Goodbye-ee!
[02:18.098] Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee
[02:21.055] Though it's hard to part I know, (I know)
[02:24.559] I'll be tickled to death to go!
[02:27.164] Don't cry-ee, don't sigh-ee
[02:30.787] There's a silver lining in the sky-ee!
[02:33.493] Bonsoir old thing, cheerio, chin-chin
[02:36.382] Nah-poo, toodle-oo, goodbye-ee!
