THAT MUST HAVE BEEN OUR WALTER
Words by Graham Squiers. Music by Edge Barston, ©1931.
As sung by Gracie Fields

Who was it who must have been a marvel from his birth?
That must have been our Walter.
Who was it you'd think was good enough to own the earth?
That must have been our Walter.
Who was it that when you ever met him anywhere,
Would make you think him wonderful and all the girls declare
That he must be the answer to the little maiden's prayer?
That must have been our Walter.

I had a brother Walter who was such a clever boy,
Mother used to say he was our only pride and joy.
Mother always gave us Walter on the brain
Till we longed to take him out and shove him down the drain.

Who was it that always brushed his hair and washed his neck?
That must have been our Walter.
Who was it who never used to swear but said, "Oh, heck"?
That must have been our Walter.
Who was it who never had committed any sin,
Who always picked the litter up and put it in the bin,
And thought it was the doctor who came round and brought the twins?
That must have been our Walter.

Who was it who said he'd like to sail the briny foam,
But going to the Isle of Man said, "Captain, take me home"?
Who joined the Empire Party* then went to the Hippodrome?
That must have been our Walter.


[* I figure this must refer to the United Empire Party, founded by Lords Beaverbrook and Rothermere in 1930, not to be confused with the British Empire Party, a fascist organization founded in the 1950s.]
