Chippy Tea (2009 Version)

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 buttered brick

I need stodgy food without the fuss

Then wife gives me a plate of cous cous

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

Chippy tea chippy tea

I want a chippy tea

But you keep givin me posh nosh

It don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore

Or your rasberry coulis

I'm a working man from lancashire

And I want a chippy tea

Plenty salt and vinegar on that love

Leave it open

It's dark when I sets off to work

It's dark when I come home

And all I want is simple food

Not dim sum from ken hom

Her inspiration's ready steady cook

Am I eating it

Am I

It's friday night

And I want a chippy tea

Chippy tea chippy tea

I want a chippy tea

But you keep givin me posh nosh

It don't agree with me

I don't want lobster thermadore

With your rasberry coulis

It's friday night

I'm within my 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 vim to

Chippy tea chippy tea

I want a chippy tea

But you keep giving me posh nosh

It don't agree with me

I don't want lobster therm adore

Or your rasberry coulis

I'm a working man from Lancashire

And I want a chippy tea

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 want a chippy tea

Chippy tea chippy tea

I want a chippy tea

But you keep giving me posh nosh

It don't agree with me

You can keep your Jamie olivers

Or your Gordon ramseys

I'm a working man from Lancashire

And I want a chippy tea
