Paul & Linda McCartney
Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey (Mono / 2022 Remaster)
[Part I: Uncle Albert]
[Verse 1]
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home, and I believe I'm gonna rain
[Verse 2]
We're so sorry, but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen, we'll be sure to give a ring
[Verse 3]
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil, and we're so easily called away
[Instrumental Break]
[Part II: Admiral Halsey]
[Chorus]
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
[Verse 4]
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth, or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look, and I had a cup of tea
And a butter pie (Butter pie?)
The butter wouldn't melt, so I put it in the pie, alright?
[Chorus]
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
[Bridge]
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around
[Chorus]
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water (Water)
Heads across the sky
