I met 'er down in Napoli and didn't she look great
And so I brought 'er back to Blighty just to show me mates
And though we're married 'appily, I'll tell ya furthermore
I 'aven't 'ad a decent meal since Nineteen-Forty-Four

Eat your minestrone, Joe
That's all you ever say
Eat your macaroni, Joe
Ev'ry blinkin' day
No wonder you're so boney, Joe, and skinny as a rake
Well then, give us a bash at the bangers and mash me Muvver used to make

Bangers and mash
Minestrone
Bangers and mash
Macaroni
Give us a bash at the bangers and mash me Muvver used to make

Eat your tagliatelli, Joe
That's all I've 'eard for years
Eat your vermicelli, Joe
It's comin' out me ears
You've got to fill your belly, Joe Joe, for heaven's sake
Well then, give us a bash at the bangers and mash me Muvver used to make
Well alright!

Bangers and mash
Tagliatelli
Bangers and mash
Vermicelli
Ah, give us a bash at the bangers and mash me Muvver used to make

Nineteen-Forty-Three, Allied Forces land in Italy.
There's a smashin'-lookin' bird over there, Bert. I think she's showin' out there.
Well, why don't you chat 'er up then?
Right! Bongourno Signorina now. 'Ere, are you married?
(Unintellible reply)
There y'are. Can't 'ave a fairer answer than that, can ya!

I met him back in Italy, so dashing and good-looking
He wined me and he dined me ev'ry night
He said I smiled so prettily and how he loved my cooking
But since he's married me, it seems he's lost his appetite

Eat your tagliatelli, Joe
That's all you ever say, Ooohhhhh
Eat your vermicelli, Joe
Ev'ry bloomin' day
You've a-got to fill your belly, Joe Joe, for heaven's sake
Well then, give us a bash at the bangers and mash your Muvver used to make

Bangers and mash
Minestrone
Bangers and mash
Macaroni
Give me a bash with the bangers and mash

Like the same one what your Mother was

What you laughing at now

Please!
