[Verse 1]
[E]I'm [Am]Bert.[C][Am]
Per[E]haps you've heard of
me Ber[Am]t.[C]
[Bm]You've had [E]word of
me [A]jog[Am]ging [A]along,
[Dm]hearty and strong, [Am]living on [Dm]plates of fresh [E]air.
I [Am]dress [C]up [Bm]in fash[E]ion
and [Am]when I am [F]feeling depressed
[E]I sha[A]ve from my cuf[E]f
all the [Am]whiskers and fluff
[E]Stick my [A]hat on [Am]and [A]todd[D]le up west[G]
I'm [C]Burlington Bertie, I rise at 10 .30
And saunter [E]along like a [F]top
[Am]I st[A]roll[Dm] down the strand
with my gloves in my hand
Then I stroll down [D]again with them [G]off
I'm [C]all airs and [F]graces,
cor[C]rect easy paces
[Dm]Without food so [Am]long
I [Dm]forgot [G]where my face is
I'm [C]Bert, [Am]Bert, [A]I hav[Dm]en't a shirt
[G]But my peo[C]ple are wel[Am]l off, you[D] kno[G]w
Nearly [C]every[G]one [C]knows [F]me,
from [D]Smith to Lord Rose[G]bery
I'm [C]Burlington [Dm]Ber tie
[G]Frum[C] bo[Ebdim]e[D][G]
I'm [C]Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten -thirty,
And saunter [E]along Temple [F]Bar.[E]
[A]As dow[Dm]n there I skip,
I keep shouting pip [A]-pip,
[Dm]And the darn fools think I'm i[D]n my car,[G]
ha -ha -ha!
At [C]Rothschild's I [F]swank it,
my [C]body I planket,
[Dm]Across his front doorstep
with [G]the mail for a blanket.
I'm [C]Bert, [A]Bert, and [Dm]Rothschild was hurt
[G]He said, you[C] can't sleep her[Am]e, I s[D]aid, oh[G]
He said, [C]I'm [F]Rothschild's sonny
I said, [D]that's rather [G]funny
I'm [C]Burlington [Dm]Ber t[G]ie from [C]Bow
[Ebdim]I'm Burli[D]ngt[G]on [C]Bertie,
[G]I ris[C]e at ten -thirty
And reach Kempton [E]Park about three
[F]I s[A]tan[Dm]d by the rail
when a horse is for sale
And you ought to see Pig[D]gott watch [G]me
I [C]lean on some awn[F]ing
While [C]Lord Darby's yawning
Then [Dm]he bids two thous[Am]and
[Dm]And [G]I bid good morning
I'm [C]Bert, [Am]Bert [A]I'd [Dm]buy one a cer[G]t
But [C]where would I [Am]keep [D]it, you [G]know?
I can't [C]let my man [F]see me
In [D]bed with a [G]Gigi
I'm [C]Burlington [Dm]Ber t[G]ie Flumb[C]o
[Ebdim][D][G][D][Fdim][E][A]
I'm [D]Burlington Ber[A]tie, I [D]rise at ten -thirty
In Buckingham Palace I [G]view
[B]I sta[Em]nd in [E]the yar[Am]d,
while they're [Em]changing the [Am]guard
And [A]the [E]Queen shouts across,
Tooda[A]loo! The [D]Prince of
Wales' [G]brother,
[D]along with some other
[C]Slaps [Em]me on the back and says,
[A]Come and see mother
I'm [D]Bert, [A]Bert, and [E]royalties hurt
[A]When they ask[D] me to din[E]e, I say no[A]
I've just [D]had a ba[G]nana
[Em]with [E]Lady Di[A]ana
I'm [D]Burlington [A]Bertie from [A]Bow
[A]I'm Burl[D]ington Ber[A]tie[D]
[E]I'm Burlington Ber[A]tie from
Bow
Thank you very much.
