Mummy I Don't Like My Meat Lyrics

Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy
My baby daughter was crying
"I'm hungry! I'm hungry!" she begged
My wife was in tears
I'd not worked for two years
Laid up with my rheumatic leg

With a poodle, a cat and a budgie
Three more hungry mouths I must feed
Now I'm asking you
What else could I do
Oh, whose was the greatest need?

"Mummy, I don't like my meat!"
Hush child, don't speak while you're chewing
Oh lord, please forgive what I'm doing
Mummy, I dont like my meat

Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy

"Mummy, where's Joey?"
I told her the budgie was chicken
Last Sunday we shared out the wing
I collected his feathers
And stuck them together
She's asking me why he don't sing
"Why don't he sing, mummy?"
Tomorrow, we'll curry the poodle
He should last us a couple of days
We'll try to disguise him
So she won't recognise him
But how will I feel when she says

"Mummy I don't like my meat"
Hush babe, don't talk while you're eating
But something inside her's repeating
Mummy I don't like my meat
Oh Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy I don't like my meat
She'll never know why I pray
Yet something is making her say it
Mummy I don't like my meat

Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mummy Mummy Mummy

"Mummy, there's something stuck in my throat!
Mummy, it's a collar!
Mummy, where's Bonzo?"

"Hush child Bonzo's in the oven ...
IN HEAVEN!"

"MUMMY! Mummy, I haven't seen Tiddles around.
And, and where Colin the tortoise?
And Mummy, where's Daddy?"
