Verse 2
I'm (A major) Bur (D major) lington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty
And saunter along like a toff (G major) (B major)
I (E minor) walk down the Strand with
my gloves on my hand
Then I walk down again with (A major) them off
I'm (D major) all airs and (G minor) graces,
cor (D major) rect easy paces
Without (A major) food so (G major) long I've for
(A major) got where my face is
I'm Bert, (D major) (E flatdim) Bert, I (E minor) haven't (A major) a shirt
But my (D major) people are well off you know. (G major)
(A major) Nearly everyone (D major) knows (E minor) me from Smith (E major)
to Lord Rosebr'y,
I'm Burlington (A major) Bertie from Bow.
I (B major) stroll with (A major) Lord Hurlington, Roll in The (B major) Burl (E flatdim) ington
Verse 3
(E minor)
Call for (A major) Champagne, walk out again
Come (D major) back and borrow the ink
I live (B minor) most expensive
Like Tom Lipton I'm in
(G major) the swim
He's got so much 'oof', he sleeps on
(A major) the roof
And I live in the room over him.
I'm (B minor) Burl ington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty And
Verse 4
(B minor)
saunter along Temple Bar
As round there I skip
I keep shouting 'Pip Pip!'
And the darn'd fools think
I'm in my car
At Rothchilds I swank it
My body I plank it
On his front door step with 'The
(F sharp major) Mail' for a blanket
(B minor) I'm Bert, Bert, and Rothchild was hurt
He said ' You can't sleep there' I
said 'Oh'
He said 'I'm Rothchild sonny!' I said 'That's damn'd funny,
I'm Burlington Bertie from Bow'
I smile condescendingly (F sharp major) While they're extending
Verse 5
(F sharp major)
me
(B minor) Cheer (F sharp major) upon (B major) cheer (E minor) when I appear
Cap (F sharp major) tain with my (E minor) polo (F sharp major) team (B minor)
So strict (F sharp major) are my people
They're (B minor) William the Conqueror's (F sharp major) strain
If (B minor) they ever knew (F sharp major) I'd been (B minor) talking to you
(F sharp major) Why they'd (E major) never look
at me again (E minor) (G major) (A major)
Verse 6
(A major) I'm (D major) Burlington Bertie, I rise at ten thirty
And reach Kempton park around three
I stand by (G major) the rail, when a
(B major) horse is for sale
And you ought to see (E minor) Wooton watch me
I lean on some awning while
Lord Derby's yawning
Then he bids two thousand
and I bid Good Morning
(A major) I'm Bert, Bert, I'd (D major) buy (G major) one, a (D major) cert
But where would I keep (A major) it you know
I can't let my man see (G major) me in bed
with a (A major) gee- gee
I'm Burl (F sharp major) ing (D major) ton Ber
(E flatdim) tie from Bow!
Verse 7
My pose, Tho' ironic (E minor) al
Shows that my monocle
(A major) Holds up my face, keeps it in (D major) place,
Stops it from slipping away.
Cigars, I smoke (G major) thousands,
I usually (A major) deal in The Strand
(D major) But you've got (E minor) to take (D major) care when
you're (E minor) getting (A major) them there
(B major) Or some (E major) idiot might stand (A major) (B minor) on your (A major) hand.
Verse 8
I'm (D major) Bur (E flatdim) lington (A major) Bertie,
I rise (D major) at ten (B minor) thirty (G major) (A major) (D major)
And Buckingham Palace I (G major) view. (B major)
I stand (E minor) in the yard while they're
changing the guard
And the queen shouts
across "Toodle (A major) oo"!
The (D major) Prince of (G minor) Wales' brother
along (D major) with some other
Slaps (A major) me on the back (G major) and says
(A major) "Come and see Mother"
But I'm Ber (D major) t, (E flatdim) Bert,
and (A major) Royalty's hurt,
When they (D major) ask me to dine I say (G major) no.
(A major) I've just (D major) had a (D major) ba nana with (E major) Lady Diana
(B major) I'm (E flatdim) Burlington Ber (A major) tie (D major) (A major)
from Bow.
