LYRICS:

For 40 years I ruled alone
Shed all those tears while on the throne
What got me through the pain and hurt
Was clinging to the memory of Albert.

​

I loved her so, my darling Vicky
So much, you know, almost made me sicky.
I was not liked in your country
But who cares when I had her love for me

Her love for me...

​

Oh V and A
Oh A and V
Each way it spells L O V E
Oh A and V
Oh V and A

They’ll name a building after us one day.

​

In love from our first rendezvous
As queen had to propose to you
You were my rock in a crisis -
Like when someone tried to shoot you but they missed.

​

We were a real celebrity pair
Was first Queen Vic - first Albert - Square
The press watched every smile and flirt
Called us Alboria but I prefer Vicbert -
Or you can call me Al.

​

Oh Bert and Vic
Oh Vic and Bert
Nine kids made me found in hurt
Oh Vic and Bert
Oh Bert and Vic
Yet I found babies ugly, ironic.

​

We set trends, started new traditions.
Christmas trees, wearing tartan with style.
Albert backed the Great Exhibition.
Which made great Britain, Albert-o-phile.

​

Oh Vic and Al
Oh Al and Vic
You showed our kids love with your stick
Oh Al and Vic
Oh Vic and Al
Ours was a truly grand affair royale.

​

Then Albert died
Which left just me
Just V no A
No A just V
Oh how I mourned my special pal.
I love you Vic.
I love you Al.
