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 I'm 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 

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 butter pie 

(The butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the 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
