Biografía:
Alfred Hawthorn Hill (21 January 1924 – 20 April 1992), better known as Benny Hill, was a prolific English comic, actor & singer, best known for his television programme, The Benny Hill Show. Since its debut in 1969 his television show has been sold to over 140 countries worldwide, with viewership in the millions.
The song "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman In the West)" is a bit autobiographical. Benny Hill had been a milkman in Eastleigh, Hampshire, working for Hanns Dairy whose premises was yards way from Market Street.

Title: Rose
Artist: Benny Hill
Chords: C, F, G7, C7
This song can be found on the CD "The World of Benny Hill - Benny Hill
Sings?" which includes 25 of his comedy classics. It also appeared on
an old vinyl recording, "The Golden Hour of Benny Hill."
She's got [C]eyes that glow like [F]cigarettes,
With [C]ashtrays under[G7]neath,
And [C]when she bites her [F]fingernails,
Her [C]mother hides her [G7]teeth.
Her [C]general ap[F]pearance,
Is [C]what you'd call off[G7]beat,
I [C]don't mind girls with [F]kinky boots, but [G7]she's...
[N/C]Got kinky [C]feet. [C7]
Chorus:
Oh there's [F]flowers that bloom in the summertime, the winter and the
[C]fall,
But the [G7]rose that blooms in my heart, I love the best of [C]all.
Now her [C]teeth are just like [F]pearls,
Only [C]Pearl's teeth ain't so [G7]hot,
Her [C]heart is in the [F]right place,
But the [C]rest of her is [G7]not.
Now, [C]at her birthday [F]party,
The [C]cake, it wasn't [G7]bad,
And I [C]liked the 18 [F]candles that were [G7]on...
[N/C]The slice I [C]had. [C7]
Chorus
Now she's [C]lazy, she's le[F]thargic,
And [C]working she re[G7]sents,
She's [C]slower than a [F]nudist
Trying to [C]climb a barbed wire [G7]fence.
Why she [C]talks so slow, one [F]evening when
She [C]went out with her [G7]boss,
[C]Before she could [F]say I'm not that [G7]kind...
[N/C]Of a girl she [C]was.
Chorus twice
This is one in a series of Benny Hill songs I've learned by ear. Most of
these songs have only three chords which makes it easy figure them out. I
might have missed some chords or put the wrong ones down, but the basic
structure is there at any rate. I welcome any comments, corrections or
suggestions for improvement.
