Stewdle-Ooodle-Oo 1927

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 27 May 2002

Lots of people make
an awful fuss about their food,
and over it they brood,
I wonder why?
Some like duck and peas,
some like bread and cheese,
others like a steak and kidney pie.
But there is one thing that appeals to me,
this is my special speciality.

Oh! I do like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
I doodleoodleoo,
Don't youdleoodleoo?
If you don't like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
You know what you can doodleoodleoo!

Oh! I do like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
I doodleoodleoo,
Don't youdleoodleoo?
If you don't like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
You know what you can doodleoodleoo!

What's the use of stew
unless you've got a dumpling in?
The gravy's always thin
unless it's thick.
Lancashire likes tripe,
Baldwin likes his pipe,
and so does Bottomley and 'Dirty Dick'.
But I always believe in safety first,
I'll stick to what I fancy till I burst.

Oh! I do like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
I doodleoodleoo,
Don't youdleoodleoo?
If you don't like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
You know what you can doodleoodleoo!

Oh! I do like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
I doodleoodleoo,
Don't youdleoodleoo?
If you don't like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
You know what you can doodleoodleoo!

When you make a stewdleoodle,
first you get a pot,
and then you get a lot
of odds and ends.
Bits of this and that,
then skim off the fat,
and p'raps a bit of meat,
it all depends.
The lovely taste it has I can't explain,
Just listen and I'll tell you once again.

Oh! I do like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
I doodleoodleoo,
Don't youdleoodleoo?
If you don't like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
You know what you can doodleoodleoo!

Oh! I do like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
I doodleoodleoo,
Don't youdleoodleoo?
If you don't like a dumpling
in a stewdleoodleoo,
You know what you can doodleoodleoo!
