(Music: Norman Newell / Lyrics: Philip Green)


Tommy Steele (Film Soundtrack) - 1963





Egg and chips, cuppa tea, slice o' bread and butta
Pass the sauce, ta mate, I'll have another cuppa
'Cause I'm mad about the doll workin' at the corner cafe
Can't keep away from lurkin' at the corner gaff

I never stop eatin'
Rasher fried, beans on toast, now a cup o' cocoa
Believe me, mate, she's the most, fairly drives me loco
Blond hair, blue eyes, figure that's a must
I'm a-gonna make her my doll if I eat till I bust 

So I say
Kipper fried, bread and jam, now I got a question
Can I scoff grilled ham, it gives me indigestion
But I'm crazy for the doll workin' at the corner cafe
Spend all my spare time lurkin' at the corner gaff

A-get a load o' this now

(Orchestral Interlude / Dance Routine)

'Ad a bit o' luck though
Takin' her out Saturday night, dancin' at the Palais
If I play my cards right, we might get really pally
I'm a-gonna date 'er for later I hope she'll be my steady
And when I know she's my gal we'll go down to the corner cafe

And order
Two eggs and chips, two cups o' tea, got to 'ave a meal like
What Luv, sorry Luv, you 'ave what you feel like
'Cause I'm mad about you darlin', tell me that you love me too
'Cause until you do I'll never stay 'way from you

And eatin'
Egg and chips, cuppa tea, rasher fried, beans on toast
Kipper grilled, bread and jam, piece o' cake etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera
