Two Little Sausages
Once in the window of a Ham and Beef shop
Two little sausages sat
One was a lady and the other was a gentleman
Sausages are like that
He fell a victim to her simple charms
And her form he would have embraced
But a suasage,you see, hasn't got any arms
And the lady hasn't got a waist
What a pair of jolly little sausages
Theirs was a very pleasant fate
So they snuggled up together
In the chilly winter weather
While both on the same cold plate
Yes it really was a very cold plate
One sad day those Sausages quarrelled,
Ended was all their joy
The reason was that she said she caught him winking
At a saucy little saveloy
"Pooh, my dear" said the gentleman sausage
You may think I'm a flirt, well I am
But I've seen you sitting on the same bit of parsley
As that wicked old knuckle of Ham
What a pair of silly little sausages
Theirs was a bitter, bitter, pill
For they very quickly parted
And it left her broken hearted
While he joined a bad mixed grill
Yes it really was a very mixed grill
Long years after on a luncheon counter
Those little sausages met
She was engaged to the wing of a chicken
Be he hadn't got off yet
Soon they were reconciled and then, of course
She consented to name the day
So the barmaid dressed her in a tissue paper frill
And the waiter gave her away
What a pair of happy little sausages
Nothing their happiness could dash
And on any day you'll meet'em,
Cos there's no -one wants to eat 'em
He calls her " His Own Sweet Mash"
So you see that they are
SAUSAGE AND MASH
