Lyrics
I Got The "Can't Seem To Get A Decent Full English Breakfast " Blues Again
Won't you gather round you people
Listen to my sorry tale
If I don't get satisfaction
Gonna end me up in jail
Chorus
I haven't had a decent meal
Since I don't know when
I got the "Can't seem to get a decent full English breakfast" blues again
Verse
I went down to the local mall
The first place that I tried
The bacon wasn't barely cooked
It was cold and raw inside
The next place that I went to
I patiently waited
The bacon wasn't crispy
It had been incinerated
Chorus
I haven't had a decent meal
Since I don't know when
I got the "Can't seem to get a decent full English breakfast" blues again
Verse
I booked into a hotel
It was in the Michelin Guide
I ordered me a breakfast
The fried bread wasn't fried
I tried another establishment
Five stars I'd been told
The eggs they were like rubber
And the mushrooms they were cold
Chorus
I haven't had a decent meal
Since I don't know when
I got the "Can't seem to get a decent full English breakfast" blues again
Verse
So let me tell you people
If you want to be content
Find yourself a woman
Even though she's wizened and bent
Don't worry if she's old and grey
Don't worry about her looks
Don't care if she's a psychopath
As long as she can cook
Chorus
I haven't had a decent meal
Since I don't know when
I got the "Can't seem to get a decent full English breakfast" blues again
I got the "Don't care if the restaurant in Trip Advisor got 10 marks out of 10"
I got the "Can't seem to get a decent full English breakfast" blues again
