The School Dinner Blues Lyrics by Liz Pichon

Tom Gates Mixtape

0

[Verse 1]
When the bell goes for lunch, I’m just hoping and yearning
For something that's tasty and not stomach churning
It's not much to ask all I want on a plate
Is food that I love, not food that I hate
I've got the school dinner blues and it's making me sad
All the meals I wish that I'd never had
[Pre-Chorus]
Close my eyes and imagine while licking my lips
That today is the day they’ll be serving up
[Chorus]
Chips, what do we want?
We want chips!
When do we want them?
Now!
Chips, what do we want?
We want chips!
When do we want them?
Now!
Chips, what do we want?
Chips, chips, chips, chips, chips, chips, chips
[Verse 2]
The cooks in the kitchen specialize in a dish
Made from leftover scraps of the ugliest fish
There's Vera who serves with a smile and a whistle
As she spoons out the mince, which is mostly just gristle
Do you want mashed potato, have one scoop or two
It's the colour of stone and the texture of glue
[Pre-Chorus]
Close my eyes and imagine while licking my lips
That today is the day they’ll be serving up
[Chorus]
Chips, what do we want?
We want chips!
When do we want them?
Now!
Chips, what do we want?
We want chips!
When do we want them?
Now!
Chips, what do we want?
Chips, chips, chips, chips, chips, chips, chips
[Bridge]
Chips are my favourite, if not everyday
A portion of chips makes a bad day okay
You won’t believe it
[Chorus]
Chips, what do we want?
We want chips!
When do we want them?
Now!
Chips, what do we want?
We want chips!
When do we want them?
Now!
Chips, what do we want?
Chips, chips, chips, chips, chips, chips, chips
[Outro]
“Oh no, not cabbage, please! Eww, you keep that rottening! Ugh…”
