Lyrics Paul McCartney – 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

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.

«Butter pie?»
«The butter wouldn’t melt, so I put 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,

Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.
