Well, adapted for the Potteries:
Well it's the end of the working week and I'm rushing back home quick I'm starving I'm fair klempt tha knows I could eat a butter brick I need stodgy food without the fuss Then wife gives me a plate of cous cous
I said I'm sorry love but I want a chippy tea
Chippy tea, chippy tea I want's a chippy tea But you keep givin posh nosh it don't agree with me I don't want lobster thermadore Or your rasberry coulie I'm a working man from Stoke on Trent and I want a chippy tea
"Plenty salt and vinegar on that duckie Leave it open will ya blue"
It's dark when I sets off to work It's dark when I come home And all I want is simple food Not Din Sum from Ken Hom Her inspiration's ready steady cook Am I eating it? Am I f... it's friday night and i want a chippy tea
Chippy tea, chippy tea I want's a chippy tea But you keep givin posh nosh it don't agree with me I don't want lobster thermadore With your rasberry coolie It's Friday night I'm within my rights I wants a chippy tea
"And in the red kitchen William is preparing griddled squid With coconut pesto Chilli jam and an ice cointreau custard"
"And in the Staffordshire kitchen Bernards Machin's brought back from the chippy Chips, peas, Bacon n cheese Oatcakes, gravy wrapped a carton of curry, a barmcake and a can of vimto Now"
Chippy tea, chippy tea I want's a chippy tea But you keep givin posh nosh it don't agree with me I don't want lobster thermadore Or your rasberry coulie I'm a working man from the Potteries and I wants a chippy tea
"Got any of your satchets of tomato sauce Throw us a chicken in there will you duck"
Wigan chippys they have baby's heads In St Helen's they serve splits But tha's giving nouvel cuisine And all I want is chips I don't care if it's one of Nigela's I think that's a funny name for a fella I'm not eating it I wants a chippy tea
One last time
Chippy tea, chippy tea I want's a chippy tea But you keep givin posh nosh it don't agree with me You can keep your Jamie Olivers Or your Gordon Ramsey's I'm a working man from Stoke on Trent and I wants a chippy tea
Right Throw a sausage in that batter love Pass us one of those 2p forks

If you want a new song, why not just learn this one? (i know its been on here before)
We come from Stoke on Trent Oh yeah.. Stoke on Trent Historic Town on the River Trent
Its a vibrant mix of the great and the good Like Reginald 'Spitfire' Mitchell and Josiah Wedgewood
Come and lose yourself in the Potteries Shopping Centre Why not try a Staffordshire Oatcake.. its a culinary adventure
We come from Stoke on Trent Come see what is meant by the welcome phrase of ey up duck In Stoke on Trent
