Boiled beef and carrots

When I was a nipper only six months old
My mother and me 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's roe
I said pop round to the old cook shop
And I'll tell you what'll make me grow

Boiled beef and carrots
Boiled beef and carrots
That's the stuff for your Derby 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 'til night
On boiled beef and carrots
