Like The Big Pots Do - Lyric

Isn't it disgusting how some vulgar folks behave, When they sit down to eat their food? My father was a baker, so I'm quite well bre(a)d, you see, And no one's more particular, when eating food than me. To give you information I am able. On how you should behave when you're at table.

Never use your fingers when your eating stew. Wipe your plate with bread, just like the "Big Pots" do. Peas should not be eaten with your knife, it's true: Eat them from the saucepan, like the "Big Pots" do. Never put both elbows on the table when you eat. Leave a bit of room for other folks to "park" their feet. Always hold your kipper with one hand, not two, And wave it while you're talking like the "Big Pots" do!

You should all remember when you're eating your dessert, That tripe is not a hothouse fruit. And when you're eating oranges, Mind where you shoot the pips, And hold the paper gracefully when eating fish and chips. Don't call attention to your host's carbuncle. Or mind him of the day they hanged his uncle.

Never use your fingers when your eating stew. Wipe your plate with bread, just like the "Big Pots" do. Peas should not be eaten with your knife, it's true: Eat them from the saucepan, like the "Big Pots" do. Never put both elbows on the table when you eat. Leave a bit of room for other folks to "park" their feet. Always hold your kipper with one hand, not two, And wave it while you're talking like the "Big Pots" do!
