Fish and Chips for tea, we all love,
Chips and Fish for lunch, we all love
What can we have for breakfast?
Fish Finger Sandwich, why not?
What can we have for High Tea,
Not Afternoon Tea, well not for me.
Shall we have Cod? Haddock? Salmon?
Evening Meal? Fish Pie would be swish...
Have you tried Fish and Peas?
With Rice would be nice, Curried Fish?
Fish Balls bought from the Chinese Supermarket.
Breakfast: Eggs Benedict with thin sliced Salmon.
Some Fish I would not eat, Pollack and Basra,
Anything from Vietnam or Chinese Yellow River.
So you see, you have to buy right - choose a
Good fishmonger. Read the back of the packets.
But let’s not finish on bad fish,
Lets all queue up outside our local chippy,
Shout over the heads “A Special” for me.
Eat it out of a paper on the way home.
“Eee By Gum, that were a good un,” we say.
Wipe our hands and mouth on the paper
Appetite sated, and go on our way.
What do we want? We want Fish and Chips!!
