My Bacon Roll lyrics

I never got the elbow,

Just telling you

Before you go,

Only telling you,

Just so you know.

I never got the elbow,

I slung it in

Had it up to here,

I just pulled the pin,

Went and had a beer.

I used to love a bit of folding

Just for getting by

A wad of cash

Now that's out of date

And so am I

As pie and mash.

S'cuse me, s'cuse me,

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

The time they took us bowling,

What was that about?

I thought what a joke.

I just went out

And had a smoke.

Then the white water rafting,

Just some know-it-all

With the new regime

There to show us all

How to build a team.

He says, "what do you think we're doing?"

I said, "Don't ask me

I've no idea."

They all laughed at that.

That was pretty funny actually.

S'cuse me, s'cuse me,

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

I could order you a toastie

Just like that one there

Or the same in plain white bread.

When you're dealing with a toastie,

What do you prefer:

Brown or red?

I never got the elbow,

Just telling you

Before you go,

Only telling you,

Just so you know.
