Does anyone have the lyrics to the following songs:

-He's All Right When You Know Him
-Off She Goes Again

Both are by Charles Coburn. My source of these songs is from "The Greatest Music Hall Bill Ever Assembled" LP MFP 1146 by the Gramophone Corp.

The British music hall performer was named Charles Coborn -- not to be confused with the American actor Charles Coburn.

"Ring Up the Curtain, Being a Pageant of English Entertainment Covering Half a Century" by Ernest Henry Short and Arthur Compton-Rickett, 1938, says:

"Bill Sloggins," better known as "He's all right when you know him," was another Coborn "hit." The chorus was introduced by a snatch of East End dialogue:

"Say, Jack. 'Ave you 'eard the noos? Bill's cut 'is wife's froat."
"No! 'Ave 'ee?"
"Yas!"
"Well, 'e warn't a bad sort, arter all, warn't Bill, when you knew 'im."

CHORUS: "'E's all right when you know 'im, but 'e's angry when 'e's vexed.
'E'll black your eye one minute, but 'e'll stand a pint the next.
'E wouldn't 'urt a baiby. 'E's a pal as you can trust.
'E's all right when you know 'im, but you've got to know 'im fust."
