Bab’s Bacon Bop
Hot
tea, white bread (get in line,
lads)
Two sugars, extra brown sauce
Six in the morning,
kettle on the boil Dust on the boots,
living off the soil High-vis jackets lining down the street Waiting on
Bab for something good to eat
Sizzling pan, butter on the roll Warm cup of tea to revive
your soul
Brown or red? Wrapped up tight Bab gets the fry-up right
(she gets it right) Grab your butty,
don't be late!
Bab's got the butties on the griddle plate Feed all the workmen
before quarter to eight Crispy bacon,
thick cut bread Best sandwich van like the builder said!
(bacon butty!) Yeah, Bab keeps the whole town fed!
Big Dave wants sausage,
Tommy wants ham Spreading yellow butter with a steady hand Plumbers and
sparkies, scaffolders too Nobody skips when they're in the queue She's cracking
jokes with a wink and a smile
Making hard graft feel worth the while
Brown or red? Wrapped up tight Bab gets the fry-up right
(you know she does!) Pick up the bag and shut the gate!
Bab's got the butties on the griddle plate Feed all the workmen
before quarter to eight Crispy bacon,
thick cut bread Best sandwich van like the builder said!
(pack it
up!) Yeah, Bab keeps the whole town fed!
"Two bacon,
one egg, and a strong brew,
darling?" (sorted!) "Watch the hot fat!"
Get ready now,
drop it back down!
Shut the hatch, wipe the bench
All the lads gone back to the trench (cheers Bab!) Best butties
in town
