Thread Name: Albert & Doris
Subject: RE: Albert & Doris
I was taught it by my sister in the late 60s. This is what I recall, but if there are other verses, I'd love to learn them.

Albert and Doris were lovers, down on the Tottenham Court Road
They swore to be true to each other, just as true as the 'oles in the road,
He was her man, but he done her wrong

Now Doris she worked at the Carlton, the best usherette at the flicks,
she sold a load 'a tickets for half a dollar that should've cost four and six,
He was her man, but he done her wrong

Now Doris she earned a promotion, to the circle she rose in a dream,
But she looked down to see Albert snogging with the bird wot flogged ice cream,
He was her man, but he done her wrong

Now that is the end of the story, the moral is clear to be seen,
'Cos Albert got killed in the rush for the door, when they played God Save the Queen,
He was her man, but he done her wrong
