Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

All off to Brighton in a charabanc

Albert played his banjo and how we sang.

The beer was expensive but the laughter was free

( run)

Oh how we do love to all be beside the sea.

Albert had a cousin named Marjorie

And I had been noticing that she had noticed me.

I quickly decided if she didn't mind

( run)

I would spend the day in her gay company.

We shared a plate of whelks strolling side by side.

I said she weren't too old to take a donkey ride

But I didn't mind when she laughed and said no

So we paused for a while and listened to the minstrel show.

There was a notice at the Palace Pier

It said there was to be a dance that night and it wasn't dear.

I explained of course that I could only waltz

And so we waltzed to every tune they played.

Instrumental break

Nine o'clock come round we had to take the charabanc

Albert was too drunk to play the banjo but still we sang

All except Marjorie, I could tell at a glance

Because me and Albert was leaving for France.

I said "We'll both be home in a week or two

Me and Albert and Lord Kitchener will teach the Hun a thing or two.

I'm sure to return, after me do not yearn

And we will waltz together all our lives through."
