Lyrics

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 but I wants a chippy tea
 Chippy tea, chippy tea
 I wants a chippy tea
 But you keep givin' me posh nosh
 It don't agree with me
 I don't want lobster thermidor
 Wi' a raspberry coulis
 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 out to work
 It's dark when I come wom
 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 f...
 It's Friday night
 And I want a chippy tea
 Chippy tea, chippy tea
 I wants a chippy tea
 But you keep givin' me posh nosh
 It don't agree with me
 I don't want lobster thermidor
 With your raspberry 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
 Bernard's 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' me posh nosh
 It don't agree with me
 I don't want lobster thermidor
 Or your raspberry coulis
 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 chippies they have baby's heads
 In St Helens they serve splits
 But tha's giving nouvelle cuisine
 And all I want is chips
 I don't care if it's one of Nigella'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 Ramsey'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
