Lyrics:
We're keeping the oak fires burning here on wartime rations
I'm hoping this week to have a little meat
to eat a decent meal has really gone out of fashion
but fashion can wait for a nice pair of pig's feet
I've not seen a blooming sausage now for a quite a long time
keep dreaming at night of sausage pie and mash
for bacon and two eggs I'd give you a diecast goldmine
but pie in the sky is all you can get for cash
but you don't get too fat in wartime
I'm as thin as a blinking rake
while walking 'round the house last Tuesday
I walked right through the door jamb by mistake
now 'n me and the wife have a coddle
our arms wrap around each other twice
no, you don't get too fat in wartime
but if it helps to beat old Jerry it's alright
while queuing a sweet together a little bit of butter
I spoke to a woman living down our way
she said let's go on home
her lovely little green eyes did flutter
though fluttering's nice
butter it was for me that day
when this war is done I think I will save all my pennies
and go for a slap of meal at some posh place
I'll order enough meat to feed all the British army
and eat enough pud to feed off the human race
but you don't get too fat in wartime
I'm as thin as a blinking rake
while walking 'round the house last Tuesday
I walked right through the door jamb by mistake
now 'n me and the wife have a coddle
our arms wrap around each other twice
no, you don't get too fat in wartime
but if it helps to beat old Jerry it's alright
but if it helps to beat old Jerry it's alright
