The Lancashire Hotpots - Chippy Tea lyrics

rate me

Well it's the end of the working week

and I'm rushing back home quick

I'm starving

I'm fair klempt tha knows

I could eat a butter brick

I need stodgy food without the fuss

Then wife gives me a plate of cous cous

I said I'm sorry love but I want's a chippy tea

Chippy tea, chippy tea

I want's a chippy tea

But you keep givin posh nosh

it don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore

Or your raspberry coulée

I'M A WORKING MAN FROM LANCASHIRE!

and I wants a chippy tea

Plenty salt and vinegar on that love

Leave it open will ya darling

It's dark when I sets off to work

It's dark when I come home

And all I want is simple food

Not Din Sum from Ken Hom

Her inspiration's ready steady cook

Am I eating it?

Am I heck

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT!

and i want a chippy tea

Chippy tea, chippy tea

I want's a chippy tea

But you keep givin posh nosh

it don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore

With your raspberry coolie

IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT

I'M WITHIN ME RIGHTS!

I wants a chippy tea

"And in the red kitchen

William is preparing griddled squid

With coconut pesto

Chilli jam and an ice Cointreau custard&

And in the Lancashire kitchen

Bernards brought back from the chippy

Chips, peas, pudding, gravy wrapped

a carton of curry, a barmcake and a can of vimto

Now

Chippy tea, chippy tea

I want's a chippy tea

But you keep givin posh nosh

it don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore

Or your raspberry coulée

I'M A WORKING MAN FROM LANCASHIRE!

and I wants a chippy tea

Got any of your satchets of tomato sauce

Throw us a chicken in there will you love

Wigan chippys they have baby's heads

In St Helen's they serve splits

But that's giving nouvelle cuisine

AND ALL I WANT IS CHIPS!

I don't care if it's one of Nigela's

I think that's a funny name for a fella

I'm not eating it

I wants a chippy tea

One last time

Chippy tea, chippy tea

I want's a chippy tea

But you keep givin posh nosh

it don't agree with me

You can keep your Jamie Olivers

Or your Gordon Ramsay's

I'M A WORKING MAN FROM LANCASHIRE!

and I wants a chippy tea

Right

Throw a sausage in that batter love

Pass us one of those 2p forks
