lyrics

BERT AND ERNIE

Bert and Ernie run the corner shop
Bert does the papers, Ernie never stops
Mrs Wilkins down at twenty one
Says it takes all kinds she knew Ernie’s Mum
PC Williams thinks he should keep an eye
On Bert and Ernie but he won’t say why

Ernie stops, takes his glasses off as Bert orders in supplies
He feels his mum is smiling down, turns and rubs his eyes

Friday evening, Ernie goes to town
Monday morning Bert does the paper round
Mr Smith the grocer whistles out of tune
He starts to smile at Bert but his wife comes down too soon
She’s pricing sugar, it’s goin’ up again
Bert gets his sachets from the café down the lane

Bert looks up from shaving, he treasures what he feels
Love can come in many ways, Ernie puts on his high heels

Reverend Hopkins knows it is a sin
But motivation is running pretty thin
“The world is full of people going to hell”
According to his wife he’ll be there as well
The evening’s drawing in, the night is here to stay
Bert and Ernie finished for the day
