Intro
B D#7
Alf was seventeen
E
When he saw Penelope
C#m
She was the woman of his dreams
B D#7
She was twenty-six
E
But nine is just a number
C#m F#
When it all comes down to it
[Verse]
B F#
And he watched her from afar
C#m
Until one day he plucked the courage
E
To say you look like a movie star
B F#
But Penelope brushed it off
C#m
And said why don't you come back, Alf, when
E F#
You've got a job
E B F#
So he worked the paper round
E B F#
Until he had himself five pounds
E D#m F#
Bought a bouquet of roses red
E B F#
Penelope turned around and said
[Chorus]
B D#7
Alfred Benson, you're such a gent
E
But I didn't mean to lead you on
D#m C#m F#
That was never my intent
B D#7
Alfred Benson, you're such a doll
D# E D#m
You should find a girl that treats you right
C#m F#
And take her home
[Verse]
B D#7
Out of the blue
E D#m
Alf is twenty three and now
C#m F#
Penelope is thirty two
B D#
As he smiled across the bar
E D#m
She rolled her eyes enticingly
C#m F#
And gestured from afar
B F#
She told Alf about her new guy
C#m
And said they've booked the wedding
E
For the seventh of July
B F#
Alfred's head was in a state
C#m
But he offered her a drink
E F#
Since it was time to celebrate
[Pre-Chorus]
E B F#
And so he ordered the first round
E B F#
And they drank until the stools were upside down
E B F#
As she finished off her glass of red
E D#m F#
Drunkenly she turned and said
[Chorus]
B D#7
Alfred Benson, he's just not my type
E
He never buys me flowers
D#m C#m F#
He doesn't hold me in the night
B D#7
Alfred Benson, I wish you were mine
D#m7 E
We could run away
D#m C#m F#
And leave this dreary life behind
[Verse]
C#m F#
And now for chapter three
B F# G#m
Alfred Benson's in his late thirty's
C#m F#
Penny is married with children of her own
B A#m G#m
Sadly not with Alfred who's all alone
C#m F#
But one day in the summer of thirty-three
B
Alfred went to Penny's house
A#m G#m
And he got down on one knee
E F#
Pleading, could you marry me?
[Outro]
B D#7
Alfred Benson, no, don't you dare
E
You could've had the world, my love,
D#m C#m F#
But you're not going anywhere (not dressed like that)
B D#
Alfred Benson, you're just not the one
E D#
Of course you know I loved you, but this stops now
C#m
We had our fun
F# B
My darling, Alfred Benson, love.
