Lyrics

Here's a tune, lads, that means an awful lot to me
I know it means feck all to breed it down there
It's a tune called the Jumbo Breakfast Roll, and it goes something like this
Well I wake up in the morning and I jump straight out of bed
I grab a hold of that luminous jacket and shake that old porter head
Haven't time for the fancy breakfast or put muesli in a bowl
I just head to the stat oil garage for the jumbo breakfast roll
Two eggs, two sausage two rasher, two bacon, two puddings one black, one white
All stacked like a tower on top of each other and rolled up good and tight
If you're having some tea, the milks over there, and you'll find sugar in the bowl
Says she, "Do you want some sauce on that?" Says I, "I do in my roll"
Now whether you're a chippie or a sparkie or a brickie or a team just tarring the road
Or a shower of lads coming back from the razz with a crowd or on your own
If you're working up a ladder or peeling pig's bladder or find yourself digging in a hole
There's no sight better than melting butter from a jumbo breakfast roll
Two eggs, two sausage, two rasher, two bacon, two puddings, one black, one white
All stacked like a tower on top of each other and rolled up good and tight
If you're having some tea, the milks over there, and you'll find sugar in the bowl
Says she, "Do you want some sauce on that?" Says I, "I do in my roll"
Now just the other day after me roll and tea, in me gut I got an awful ache
Well, I went to me doctor, he says, "See, that's an artery block, you have every morning at break
Ah, but I know there's too many words left to stop bloody Bob Dylan
So I changed my lifestyle, I had to walk five miles seeing a dietician called Noel
But hanging from me head to see two runny eggs and a jumbo breakfast roll
Two eggs, two sausage, two rasher, two bacon, two puddings, one black, one white
All stacked like a tower on top of each other and rolled up good and tight
If you're having some tea, the milks over there, and you'll find sugar in the bowl
Says she, "Do you want some sauce on that?" Says I, "I do in my roll"
Alright, let's take it nice and handy now
Sad verse coming, sad verse coming out
This'll give Breda a good bloody laugh
Now the years have moved on
And my life has changed
And now I'm a different man
I'm after losing three stone, doing lime as a girl called Joan
And we are both vegetarian
Now my blood sugar levels are good to go
And my cholesterol is low
But in the morning I'd sell my soul
Just to sit outside and eat my eggs all in my shell style in my forecourt
A little jumbo breakfast roll
Two eggs, two sausage, two rasher, two bacon, two puddings, one black, one white
All stacked like a tower on top of each other and rolled up good and tight
If you're having some tea, the milks over there, and you'll find sugar in the bowl
Says she, "Do you want some sauce on that?" Says I, "I do in my roll"
Two eggs, two sausage, two rasher, two bacon, two puddings, one black, one white
All stacked like a tower on top of each other and rolled up good and tight
If you're having some tea, the milks over there, and you'll find sugar in the bowl
Says she, "Do you want some sauce on that?" Says I, "I do oh, my hoe"
How is that?
