Hey Lime, I think that is a Beatles song. I've heard it before but can't remember the name🙁

As for the sad woe, I dunno🙄

I know it's a Beatles song, but I can't name it. And it annoys me.

 

[ShiningIce]

[venray]

Not a Beatles song...tis Paul McCartney and wings.....




ARTIST: Paul McCartney
TITLE: Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey


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

We're so sorry but we haven't done a thing all day
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen, we'll be sure to give a ring

We're so sorry Uncle Albert
A-a-a-a-a-albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
A-a-a-a-a-all day
We're so sorry Uncle Albert
A-a-a-a-a-albert
But the kettle's on the boil, and we're so easily called away
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah

Hands across the water, water, heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water, heads across the sky

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 they put it in a pie

Hands across the water, water, heads across the sky (2X)

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

Hands across the water, water, heads across the sky (2X)

Words to "Bonnie"

The original words were:

My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
O bring back my Bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me.

I also know two variants of this. One was in the Reader's Digest, allegedly written by a med student who had to use the words "analyze" and "anatomy" in a sentence. Instead, he came up with:

My analyze over the ocean,
My analyze over the sea,
My analyze over the ocean,
So bring back my anatomy.

The other variant I know is my own original work:

My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My mommy lay over my daddy,
So that's how they came up with me.

So this Bonnie woman does she like orange marmalade?

 

[luv2bt&tickled]

how did I know that Orange Maralade was going to show up! LOL😉 🙂

And yes Lime, Ray is correct. It is not a Beatles song, it's like he said it's Paul McCartney and wings. As for Bonnie, I dunno

I guess she lies ober da ocean.

 

[TKpervert]

So this Bonnie woman does she like orange marmalade?

She shovels it into her potato soup by the heaping tablespoon.

 

[kurchatovium]

Sounds like my kinda of gal. So why does she lie over the ocean? Isn't that sort of dangerous. I mean you could lose your marmalade for starters.

 

[giggleygirl25]

its a small ocean

 

[RichardAuc]

Why Bonnie lies over the ocean.

The song was sung by a sailor at war, about the woman he loves and left behind.

Kinda like a lotta guys about American ships on the other side of the world.

Food for thought.

Alas my poor Bonnie.....If only I knew who she was.
