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