There is "The Greasy Cook"...I sing the Harry Cox version....
Tim Radford
THE GREASY COOK. Harry Cox I fell in love with a Greasy Cook And that I can’t deny I fell in love with a greasy cook I’ll tell you the reason why - Repeat.
Plum pudding, roast beef a plenty Plum pudding, roast beef Oh when my belly was empty She gave to me relief - repeat
I kindly was invited some supper for to take And kindly I did accept it All for my stomachs sake - repeat
Now after supper was over The cupboard she took some key One pocket she crammed butter And the other she crammed with cheese - Repeat
Her master smelling of the cheese Came rat-tat at the door I had no where to hide my face But up the chimney crawl - repeat
I had not been there very long A sitting at my ease The fire melted my butter And likewise touched my cheese - repeat
Every drop that fell on the fire It caused the old fire to rear The old woman looked up the chimney top And she swore the old devil was there - repeat
Her master went to the chimney top A bucket of water let fall And I came following after Me butter & cheese and all - repeat
The dogs did bark & the children screamed Up flew the windows all The old woman cried out well done, well done There goes butter & cheese & all - repeat.
