Now Albert` ad ` eard about `t Signals...
With their dashes and dots an` the like,
And when `e came from the Depot
`E were`aving the time of`is life.

`E started to learn this `ere Morse code.
And didn`t e like it by gum,
An` when we`d all got an `eadache,
`E carry on like it was fun.

The instructor `e wore to a shadow,
With sending``im Morse for to read,
An` Albert, e`d go after supper,
An` read a bit more on the Creed.

At last when `e`d finished `is course `ere,
`E went `ome to `is Ma and Pa,
They gave `im some some cake an`some sugar,
But all Albert said was Da Da.

` Is Ma said " Ooh, I never,
` E talks like` e did when a lad,
`Is Pa `e went in the Army.
But the didn`t do this to our Dad!"

At least the got really worried,
An` called in the old local doc,
`Etapped Albert`s legs with`is hammer,
An` measured his pulse by the clock.

`E said "say 99 you young rascal,"
An` `e didn`t `alf get a shock,
For Albert in voice most detrmined,
said "Da, da, da, da,  dot!"

Then the Doc `e got a bit worried,
And gave `im some pills that `e`d got,
But all the could get out of Albert,
Was " Da, da, da, da, dot."

Now Albert`s in a mental asylum,
With padded walls an` the like,
`E says "dit dit dit" all the daytime
And sings " da da da all the night.

This `ere is the a moral for t` Signals
Spread out far and wide-
Morse is OK on the surface
But don`t let it get down your inside.
