THE WINKLE SONG

As I was coming home to tea,
I thought I'll have a luxury
Brought myself a penny worth of winkles
Laid them on the table
Went up stairs to change
And there was the wife with 17 kids
Picking all the big ones out
Picking all the big ones out
You should have seen my face all wrinkles
When I saw my penny worth of winkles
All the big ones gone
It made me rage and shout Oh
There was the wife with 17 kids
Picking all the big ones out
