I'm a Savage for Bacon and Cabbage

I'm a savage for bacon and cabbage

Some call it bubble and squeak

My tummy starts achin' when I see the bacon

With the smell of the cabbage I'm weak

If you're Irish then next to white puddin'

Whether you're big or you're small

You'll always go for the bacon and cabbage

'Cos that is the best feed of all

When we were young, on a Sunday for dinner

The Mammy would stand by the pot

Cooking the bacon along with the cabbage

And serving them up nice and hot

Me Father would cut up the bacon

Then throw down a bit to the cat

There would be a big scene as we fought for the lean

But I always wound up with the fat

Oh I'm a savage for bacon and cabbage

Some call it bubble and squeak

My tummy starts achin' when I see the bacon

With the smell of the cabbage I'm weak

If you're Irish then next to white puddin'

Whether you're big or you're small

You'll always go for the bacon and cabbage

'Cos that is the best feed of all

When I'd be heading to somebody's wedding

A few pints the first thing I need

Then when I'm able, I'd move to the table

Ready to eat a good feed

I don't want your starters or afters

The ould square of butter or bun

Just give me a big plate of bacon and cabbage

And I'll belch like a bull when I'm done

Oh I'm a savage for bacon and cabbage

Some call it bubble and squeak

My tummy starts achin' when I see the bacon

With the smell of the cabbage I'm weak

If you're Irish then next to white puddin'

Whether you're big or you're small

You'll always go for the bacon and cabbage

'Cos that is the best feed of all

When you go for a nosh in a hotel real posh

They'll give you a menu to read

But you'd need the knowledge of ten years in college

To find out the food that you need

Don't bother with all that ould rubbish

Ask for the meal you love best

A big hape of spuds with the bacon and cabbage

Man that will put hair on your chest

Oh I'm a savage for bacon and cabbage

Some call it bubble and squeak

My tummy starts achin' when I see the bacon

With the smell of the cabbage I'm weak

If you're Irish then next to white puddin'

Whether you're big or you're small

You'll always go for the bacon and cabbage

'Cos that is the best feed of all

Oh I'm a savage for bacon and cabbage

Some call it bubble and squeak

My tummy starts achin' when I see the bacon

With the smell of the cabbage I'm weak

If you're Irish then next to white puddin'

Whether you're big or you're small

Oh you'll always go for the
