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 it's 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.  
 
(Spoken) 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.

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.

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around, (get around),  
Get your feet up off the ground,  
Live a little, get around.
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,(get around),  
Get your feet up off the ground,  
Live a little, get around.
