The Roundest Pickled Egg I've Ever Seen
Video by Elliot Mason & Mike Fordham
I went down to the chip shop
To go and buy some chips
I asked for some chips and a battered sausage
And a can of diet Lilt
Just as I was paying
He asked did I want anything else
I said alright I’ll have a pickled egg
And then he went and he took one out
But there was something about this pickled egg
That wasn’t really right
It was out of all proportion and
It gave me quite a fright
Cos it was the roundest pickled egg I’ve ever seen
It was the roundest pickled egg oh yes indeed
It was the roundest pickled egg I’ve ever seen
It was the roundest pickled Eeeeeggggg
Well I couldn’t quite believe it
This egg was really round
It tasted like a pickled egg
But it didn’t look like a pickled egg
It looked more like a golf ball
Without those little dents
Never before have I ever seen
Such a spherical bloody egg
Cos there was something about this pickled egg
That wasn’t really right
It was like a massive bonbon
Or a small full moon at night
Cos it was the roundest pickled egg I’ve ever seen
It was round and pickled and eggy don’t you see
It was the roundest pickled egg I’ve ever seen
It was the roundest pickled Eeeeeggggg
Well I’ve seen a round orange and a circular saw
I’ve seen a round table and a mat on the floor
But I’ve never ever seen
Such a perfectly round pickled egg
As the one that I saw on that day
When I bought one from the chip shop
That’s around the corner from me
The one by the station?
No the other one that’s closer to me next to the dry cleaners
Oh yes I know the one that you mean
I hear they do round pickled eggs there
Yes that’s what I’ve been going on about for the last 5 minutes
Oh have you? Oh I’m sorry
I didn’t hear the start of the conversation
That’s alright.
Let me tell you ’bout it once again
Cos it was the roundest pickled egg I’ve ever seen
It was round and pickled and eggy don’t you see
It was the roundest pickled egg I’ve ever seen
It was the roundest pickled Eeeeeggggg
