Boiled Beef and Carrots Lyrics – Harry Champion

Singer: Harry Champion
Title: Boiled Beef and Carrots

When I was a nipper only six months old
My Mother and my Father, too
They didn’t know what to wean me on
They were in a dreadful stew

They thought of tripe, they thought of steak
Or a little bit of old cod row
I said, “Pop round to the old cook-shop
And I tell ya what’ll make me grow”

Boiled beef and carrots
Boiled beef and carrots
That’s the stuff for your ‘darby-kell’
Makes you fat and it keeps you well

Don’t live like vegetarians
On food they give to parrots
Blow out your kite from morn’ till night
On boiled beef and carrots

When I got married to Matilda Brown
A funny little girl next door
We went to Brighton for the week
Wе both toddled home once morе

My pals all met me in the pub
Said a feller to me, “Watcha, Fred!
What did you have for your honeymoon?”
So, just for a lark I said

Boiled beef and carrots
Boiled beef and carrots
That’s the stuff for your ‘darby-kell’
Makes you fat and it keeps you well

Don’t live like vegetarians
On food they give to parrots
The Wife of mine looks fit and fine
On boiled beef and carrots

Now, we’ve got a lodger, he’s an artful cove
“I’m very, very queer,” he said
We sent for the doctor, he came round
And told him to jump in bed

The poor chap said, “I do feel bad”
Then Mother with a tear replied
Said “What would you like for a pick-me-up?”
He jumped out of bed and cried

Boiled beef and carrots
Boiled beef and carrots
That’s the stuff for your ‘darby-kell’
Makes you fat and it keeps you well

Don’t live like vegetarians
On food they give to parrots
Blow out your kite from morn’ till night
On boiled beef and carrots

I am the Father of a lovely pair of nippers
And they’re nice fed boys
They’re twins, you can’t tell which is which
Like a pair of saveloys

We had them christened in the week
The Parson put them on his knee
I said, “As they’ve both got ginger hair
I want their names to be”

Boiled beef and carrots
Boiled beef and carrots
That’s the stuff for your ‘darby-kell’
Makes you fat and it keeps you well

Don’t live like vegetarians
On food they give to parrots
Gentiles and yids, bring up your kids
On boiled beef and carrots

Boiled beef and carrots
Boiled beef and carrots
That’s the stuff for your ‘darby-kell’
Makes you fat and it keeps you well

Don’t live like vegetarians
On food they give to parrots
Gentiles and yids, bring up your kids
On boiled beef and carrots
