Chorus: Chitterlin', chitterlin', chitterlin'; chitterlin' is all I crave,
|
Fill I up with chitterlin', and think of all the cash you'll save;
|
You can do Irish stew or Cordon Bleu,
|
Stuff it where you stuff your fancy suits,
|
You can buy it soft or hard, by the pound or by the yard,
|
Chitterlin's the stuff to give the troops!

Now back in Queen Victoria's time, they held a grand affair
|
A real Royal spree, at the Russian Embassy
|
Old Albert and Victoria , they went there for the ride
|
Thinking it a change from toast for tea
|
Her Majesty was not amused, when right in front the Czar

Repeat Chorus

|

|
It was his sweetheart Annie Hathaway
|
She said "Oh Will, I've come to give you all that you desire,"
|
His eyes lit up and he began to say :

Repeat Chorus

|
On the fifth day of November back in sixteen hundred and five,
|
A stealthy figure went, to the 'Ouses of Parliament
|
And beneath his cloak he carried a girt barrel in his hand
|
It was Guy Fawkes that night on mischief bent.
|
A soldier of the Royal Guard said "Hullo, what's this yere,"
|
A'spyin' out the cask beneath his cloak
|
"Pray tell I, Sir, what's in that cask, I'm sure it can't be Scrump,"
|
Old Guy took off 'is hat, and softly spoke :

|
Repeat Chorus (twice)
