Thread Name: Lyr Req: Picking All the Big Ones Out
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Picking All the Big Ones Out
this song has been passed through my family for generations but nowhere online has te version we sing.

As i was walking home for tea,
I thought id have a luxury,
so off i went to mother McCrinkles,
bought myself a penny worth a winkles

took them home,
put them on a plate as happy as can be,
i went upstairs to change my clothes and all the family were...

Picking all the big ones out,
picking all the big ones out,
you should'a seen my face full of wrinkles,
when i say my penny worth of winkles,
all the big ones gone,
it made me rave and shout,
cos there was the missus and the 17 kids,
Picking all the big ones out

Quite different to other, but i could be Chinese whispers
