There's a seaside called Blackpool,
That's for fresh and fun,
And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Went with young Albert, their .

A grand little lad was Albert
All in his best; quite a swell
With a with a horse's head handle
The that Woolworth's could .

They didn't much to the ocean
The , they was fiddling and small
There was no wrecks and drownded
In fact, to laugh at, at .

So, seeking for amusement
They and into the zoo
Where they'd and tigers and camels
And old ale and sandwiches .

There were one great big called Wallace
His was all covered with scars
He lay in a somnolent
With the of his face on the .

Now Albert had about lions
How was ferocious and wild
And to Wallace lying so peaceful
Well, it didn't seem right to the .

So straight away the little fellow
Not a morsel of fear
Took his with the horse's head handle
And shoved it in Wallace's !

You could that the lion didn't like it
For a kind of a roll
He pulled Albert inside the with him
And swallowed the little lad, !

Then Pa, who had the occurrence
And didn't what to do
, "Mother! Yon lion’s eaten Albert"
And said "Eeh, I am vexed!"

Then Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
rightly, when all's said and done
to the animal keeper
That the lion had eaten their .

The keeper was quite about it
He , "What a nasty mishap
Are you that it's your boy he's eaten?"
Pa said, "Am I sure? There's his !"

The had to be sent for
He and he said, "What's to do?"
Pa , "Yon lion's eaten Albert
And in his Sunday clothes, too."

Then said, "Right's right, young fellow
I think it's a and a sin
For a lion to go and Albert
And after we've paid to come !"

The manager no trouble
He took out his right away
Saying, "How much to the matter?"
And Pa said "What do you usually ?"

But Mother had a bit awkward
When she where her Albert had gone
She said, "No, someone's to be summonsed"
So that was upon.

Then off they went to the Station
In of the Magistrate chap
They him what happened to Albert
And proved it by showing his .

The Magistrate his opinion
That no-one was to blame
And he said that he the Ramsbottoms
Would have further sons to their .

At Mother got proper blazing
"And you, sir, kindly," said she
"What, waste all our raising children
To ruddy lions? Not !"
