boiled beef and carrots lyrics
[verse 1]
when i was a nipper only six months old
my mother and my father, too
they didn’t know what to wean me on
they were in a dreadful stew
they thought of tripe, they thought of steak
or a little bit of old cod row
i said, “pop round to the old cook*shop
and i tell ya what’ll make me grow”

[verse 2]
when i got married to matilda brown
a funny little girl next door
we went to brighton for the week
wе both toddled home once morе
my pals all met me in the pub
said a feller to me, “watcha, fred!
what did you have for your honeymoon?”
so, just for a lark i said
[chorus]
boiled beef and carrots
boiled beef and carrots
that’s the stuff for your ‘darby*kell’
makes you fat and it keeps you well
don’t live like vegetarians
on food they give to parrots
the wife of mine looks fit and fine
on boiled beef and carrots

[verse 3]
now, we’ve got a lodger, he’s an artful cove
“i’m very, very queer,” he said
we sent for the doctor, he came round
and told him to jump in bed
the poor chap said, “i do feel bad”
then mother with a tear replied
said “what would you like for a pick*me*up?”
he jumped out of bed and cried

[chorus]
boiled beef and carrots
boiled beef and carrots
that’s the stuff for your ‘darby*kell’
makes you fat and it keeps you well
don’t live like vegetarians
on food they give to parrots
blow out your kite from morn’ till night
on boiled beef and carrots
[verse 4]
i am the father of a lovely pair of nippers
and they’re nice fed boys
they’re twins, you can’t tell which is which
like a pair of saveloys
we had them christened in the week
the parson put them on his knee
i said, “as they’ve both got ginger hair
i want their names to be”
