On jubilee day the ramsbottoms
在千禧年的那一天我穿上了蓝底高跟鞋
Asked all their relations to tea

Including young Albert's grandmother

An awkward old party were she

She'd seen queen Victoria's jub lee

And her wedding to Albert the good

But got quite upset when young Albert
但当年轻的Albert
Asked how she'd got on in the flood

She cast quite a damper on party

But cheered up a bit after tea
但喝过茶之后精神振奋
And gave Albert a real golden sovrin
给了Albert一把真正的黄金手枪
She'd saved since the last jubilee

It had picture of queen on the one side
一面是女王的画像
And a dragon fight on the reverse
与恶龙殊死搏斗
And tasted of camphor and cobwebs
品尝着樟脑和蜘蛛网的滋味
Through being so long in her purse

Albert cuddled the coin and he kissed it

And felt the rough edge with his tongue

For he knew by the look of his father

He must have picked up in the street

I'll show you a trick with that sovrin
Said pa who were hovering near

Then he took and pretended to eat it

And performed the first part of the trick
When they saw as he'd swallered his suffering

With excitement his relatives burned

And each one suggested some process
每一个都说明了一个过程
For getting the money returned

Some were for fishing with tweezers

Well some were for shaking it out

If they only got back a few shillings
