The General's Accordion
General Smith-Gordon and his accordion
Bobbing in the river
Dobson Lee ate a pound did he
From the general's private larder
It seems they knew at about a half past two
He'd be entertaining Lady Halgrave
The lads affixed a few loose sticks
Below a river platform
He began to serenade her
Above the sparkling water
When suddenly he was below her
A swift current catching him
Get him out just get him out don't get him out just get him out
Blub blub blub
Now they select his kippers and snuff
And snort a cheer to Gordon and such
A finer charge he never did lead
Prepare to surrender, River Mead
Bobbing in the river
Dobson Lee ate a pound did he
From the general's private larder
It seems they knew at about a half past two
He'd be entertaining Lady Halgrave
The lads affixed a few loose sticks
Below a river platform
He began to serenade her
Above the sparkling water
When suddenly he was below her
A swift current catching him
Get him out just get him out don't get him out just get him out
Blub blub blub
Now they select his kippers and snuff
And snort a cheer to Gordon and such
A finer charge he never did lead
Prepare to surrender, River Mead
