Worst Pies In London Lyrics in English
Worst Pies in London Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
A customer’s not always right
In fact, sometimes they’re downright wrong
But when it comes to pies, my dear
I’ll sing you a sorrowful song
[Chorus]
Worst pies in London, that’s what they say
No denying, I’m afraid it’s true
Wouldn’t touch ’em, even if you paid
For the worst pies in London, we’ve got a few
[Verse 2]
The meat’s so tough, it’s like chewing leather
The crust is dry, it crumbles like sand
The flavors are bland, no seasoning whatsoever
It’s a disgrace, I can’t understand
[Chorus]
Worst pies in London, that’s what they say
No denying, I’m afraid it’s true
Wouldn’t touch ’em, even if you paid
For the worst pies in London, we’ve got a few
[Verse 3]
The fillings are questionable, to say the least
Mystery meat, you never know what’s inside
And the smell, oh, it’s enough to make you queasy
It’s a wonder anyone dares to abide
[Chorus]
Worst pies in London, that’s what they say
No denying, I’m afraid it’s true
Wouldn’t touch ’em, even if you paid
For the worst pies in London, we’ve got a few
[Bridge]
But don’t you worry, my dear friend
I’ve got a plan to make things right
With a secret recipe, I’ll amend
And turn these pies into a delight
[Chorus]
No more worst pies in London, that’s my vow
I’ll make them tasty, you won’t believe
From the worst to the best, I’ll show you how
No more worst pies in London, just you wait and see
[Outro]
So come on in, give our pies a try
No longer the worst, we’ve turned the tide
With love and care, we’ll satisfy
No more worst pies in London, we’ll make you smile wide
