Joe Brown - Jellied Eels

"Now ever since I was a mite,
I've 'ad a whacking appetite,
My hollerin' for dinner would raise the rafters,
I'd swallow me befores as well as me afters.
Till one sunny afternoon,
They bunged something in me spoon,
And I'm sure it must 'ave been ever since then
That I've 'ad an irresistible yen
For

CHORUS: Jellied eels, jellied eels
Woggling about like wonky wheels,
Why d'ya frown and look so sickly?
Slide 'em down your throat and quickly.
Don't bring up any empty cup
Though I knows just how you feels.
When you gets the taste
You won't wanna waste
Them lovely jellied eels.

Now, winkles and shrimps are fine.
I've flogged 'em since the age of nine,
I used to jog along with me two-wheeled barra,
But there was something wrong, there was something the matter.
I'd no jellied eels on show,
No wonder they didn't want to know!
I went out, bought a load, piled 'em up in a pile,
And people could smell me coming a mile...
Off! CHORUS

All together now!
(Chorus repeated)
(Spoken) It's alright for you missus,
I 'ave to come down 'ere on a Saturday morning
and what do I get? Kids; nippers, chavvies,
all round me stall. Rotten, filthy, dirty, stinking,
jammy, chocolaty fingers all over me jellied eels.
Not to mention me whelks, me cockles and me mussels and me lovely jellied eels!
