Cover It Over Quick Jemima

Cover It Over Quick Jemima - Harry Champion

Now we had a chicken yesterday

For dinner yes we did

And talk about a strong 'un

Why it raised the saucepan lid

It popped its head out

When the missus went to give a stir

It tried to sing the anchors aweigh

So I said to her

Cover it over quick Jemima

Cover it over quick

Give us a fork and hold it tight

Mind your fingers it wants to bite

Odour smell it

Getting strong and thick

Just give it a chop on its titty-fa-la

And cover it over quick

Now my Jemima's got a luvverly wart

Upon her back

To show it off in evening gowns

She seems to have the knack

I took her out to dinner once

And in the hall I saw

Her low-neck body showed the wart

And I commenced to roar

Cover it over quick Jemima

Cover it over quick

Stand with your back up against the wall

Fancy showing it in the hall

That young man there

With the coat and stick

He's coming to

Hang up his hat on your wart

So cover it over quick

Jemima and myself went out

To buy the Sunday grub

We thought we'd like a gargle

So we popped in to a pub

A tramp crept up beside of us

He did upon my life

I pointed to the market bag

And shouted to the wife

Cover it over quick Jemima

Cover it over quick

Hide the 'taters and the beans

I can tumble to what he means

Can't you see

We shall lose them in a tick

And he's having a look

At your rabbit and pork

So cover it over quick

While working on the scaffold once

I tore me corduroys

Soon I was surrounded

By a gang of girls and boys

The missus brought me dinner

Nearly had a fit because

I shouted as I showed her

What a nasty tear it was

Cover it over quick Jemima

Cover it over quick

Put me dinner upon the ground

While you're making me trousers sound

I'll catch cold

If you're more than half a tick

The ducks'll be after me little mince pie

So cover it over quick

Cover it over quick Jemima

Cover it over quick

Put me dinner upon the ground

While you're making me trousers sound

I'll catch cold

If you're more than half a tick

The ducks'll be after me little mince pie

So cover it over quick
