This song is a good example why I LOVE BIAB. This was going to be my first instrumental and twice as long! I input the chords and then Freddie turned up for the gig, man. My brain immediately started writing lyrics, the 1st verse was there in seconds and it deteriorated from then on blush Its about a chip shop years back that served the BEST chips in town even tho the owner had one disgusting habit to check the oil was at the right temp for frying when he opened. Couldn't write a verse for that sick laugh

Fish 'n chips
when I'm hungry after work
my tummy rumbles I need to walk so I
put on my coat and head down to town
I'm gonnna have me some fish and chips

drown them in vinegar
smother them in salt
grease dripping from off your fingers
1st bite man they're hot

sliding cross the counter
as you struggle to stay on your feet
they're wrapped in yesterdays paper
with the newsprint now on the chips

drown them in vinegar
smother them in salt
grease dripping from off your fingers
1st bite man they're hot

dropped on the floor just added taste
you scoffed it all dont leave no waste
you kik the paper into someone's garden
whoops beg your pardon!

drown them in vinegar
smother them in salt
grease dripping from off your fingers
1st bite man they're hot

Alyn,

You are such an original!

this is a delight.

"oh...beg your pardon.." Loved that!

The song was only as long a 1/3 of a song. So I had to listen 3 times. I think I'll go listen 3 more...

Hey Alyn.

Just got back from the Fish & Chip restaurant - how weird is that?

Brilliant little ditty. Maybe you should point out to our friends in the US that chips = French Fries over here. Maybe they know that anyway?

Can only guess what the missing verse was. Maybe you could PM me?

ROG.

Got a kick out of it!! As a lover of fish and chips, I had to take an immediate listen. It reminds me of a story. A countryman of yours and his wife opened a fish and chips shop in Sausalito in the 60's (this was when my family used to go sailing there and inspired my love of the town). Mr. and Mrs. Salt (not sure if that's the actual name) started H. Salt Fish and Chips working behind the counter. They must have been at least in their 50's at the time. The shop was a smashing success (have to use British Parlance) and they quickly expanded. They were bought out (possibly by KFC) and retired very rich. I remember the paper they used at the bottom was imitation newspaper with print and headlines to replicate the original style. Cool song, and very naturally and spontaneously delivered. A real treat (like the food itself)!! Take care. Greg

Great tune. You reminded me of this wonder story a few years back explaining real "chips" for folks on the other side of the pond. Thanks.

Thanks for the lovely story, old chap ( more British parlance!!)
Nothing can beat eating chips with newspaper print all over them, followed by a cup of coffee made with water, flowing through lead pipes, and boiled in an aluminium kettle. How on earth did we survive LOL?

Thanks for listening

Take care
