Chewin' a Wasp

Hoo favvers a bulldog chewin' a wasp,

Contempt a-dribblin' deawn er chin,

Contempt fer't folk in her eyes, dross,

Hoo sez don't use the word "catastrophe",

If tha's just lost thi heauwse, thi job,

If tha caun't pay t' leccy bill,

Caun't feed the kids, cos o' Tory banditry.

Scum o' the Earth, thiv 'ad their fill,

On' neaw they'll shit on't lot o' thi.
