the civility of albert cashier - excuse me sir lyrics

[jeffrey]
excuse me, sir
i’m lookin’ for a boy named al
he’s my very best pal
and he’s gone
he’s about yay high
and a lot more brave
doesn’t even shave
but he’s charming and courageous
and tenacious
i could go on

see he’s sort of from the union
lost the other day
probably shouldn’t say
on account of i’m south of dixie in my union blues
talk too much
i’m nervous
ah, see i saw he fell
and i tried to yell
“albert, get behind the line!”
now there’s no tellin’ who’s got their grubby little paws
on my handsome –
manly friend
someone’s gotta bring him home
and that’s just what i intend

‘scuse me miss
i’m lookin’ for a man i know
he could be your beau –
but not mine!
and that’s probably fine
was fightin’ down in vicksburg
and he’s lost or hurt
just a little squirt
and i won’t leave a man behind

stuck out of my unit past two red platoons
and it’s barely noon
no i don’t want no trouble
want to save my mate
ah! not a mate!
like, a buddy
or a real good chum
he says i’m not dumb
says i’m smart, got my head on straight
and he’s the only person ever said i weren’t strange
so i’m gonna keep on lookin’
be the brave one for a change!

ever wish you had a moment where you would have said
what was in your head
but you didn’t
no you didn’t
for a meaning or an answer
when you’re so confused
of what you could lose
every minute by the minute
always wish i’d had a possum buddy close as thieves
someone who believes
i ain’t a nitwit or a b-mpkin
when i lost you in the battle
i saw this as my chance
i could be the man
with the vigor and the gumption to say
albert!
please come home
somebody misses you…
won’t say who

but i’m frightened
and the night keeps coming faster by the day
and i can’t lose him and confusin’ as mightn’t be to say
he is special
and especially special to me, i’ll allow
i’m confined to find him somewhere someday someway soon somehow!

everyone i’m lookin’ for albert cashier
he was just right here
but he’s gone
now i’m drawin’ on
someone must’ve seen him
sir, you right there
have you seen a fair set of eyes worth of fawnin’ o –
i don’t really care if i’m a nance or a ninny
or some skinny-lookin lily-livered schoolboy you can shove
i’m a man on a mission in an amorous condition
with ambition of admission of the person that i love!

love..?

love!

albert!
