Chelp
Chelp
So
Like
He did everything backards-road round
Put on his coit
And pulled his hat on his eead
Washed his face wi’a wet dish-claht
And I’m like Whatever
Kids were art laiking
Mucking abart
Ran off darn a ginnel
Roobub pie
Waiting back at home
Some spice afore then
A ha’porth’a Spanish
Wash it darn
Wi’a sup er watter
Ovver yonder
A black clock rushed
From’t depth ‘ot coil-‘oil
I mean
What the actual fuck
The lasses were callin
Having a natter
Wi’t bairns at their apron strings
Reet slags
There were a feyt down at chip-oil
Bob brayed a reet clever-clogs full er chelp
Then got ‘art his brass and paid ‘im an hap-orth
Brought ‘em home
All hot’n’golden
Well
T’chips got etten
I can tell yer
Reet
Supp up
I’ll sithee next week
Tarra
