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