'Appy 'Ampstead - 1932 - Dame Gracie Fields

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 20 Sept 2001

Can't you 'ear the charabang
acomin' dahn the Old Kent Road,
All the bloomin' lot of us
are goin' ter make a fine old load,
There's 'Blimey Bill' from Denmark 'ill
wot a daddy at the cokernut shies.
And the New Cross bunch
wiv' the beer and lunch
all ready when the driver cries.

All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go;
all aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
it's better than a Lord Mayor's Show.
We won't 'arf 'oller
and we won't 'arf shout
when we get Aunt Lizzie on the roundabout.
All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go.

All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go;
all aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
it's better than a Lord Mayor's Show.
There's Bill's old woman in her Sunday silks
with a point of shandy and a plate of whelks
All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go.

Wot a bloomin' 'ow d'yer do,
now mother's lost her 'titfortat.'
Someone's pinched the sandwiches,
so now we'll 'ave to 'chew the fat.'
Old Auntie Peg's lost 'er cork leg
and the p'leece 'ave gorn and done it on Joe.
There's a blighter 'ere collered all the beer,
but are we dahn'earted? "NO!"

All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go;
all aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
it's better than a Lord Mayor's Show.
We won't 'arf 'oller
and we won't 'arf shout
when we get Aunt Lizzie on the roundabout.
All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go.

All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go;
all aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
it's better than a Lord Mayor's Show.
There'll be some shovin'
and there'll be some push
when we all get merry
at the 'Bull and Bush,'
All aboard for 'Appy 'Ampstead,
where the 'Arry's and the 'Arriets go.
