Here are the lyrics:- I'm a man who dunt complain, Bowt the weather or the rain. Find it make no difference ennyway. But I hev but one regret That I haven't mentioned yet, Thass orl abowt the bread we git terday: I kin git m'self a nice lobster Or a nice broad apron carb. When I'm a little bit hungry A nice little herrin' I've had. I kin git m'self a nice mushroom Go along wi' eggs in bed. I kin git m'self a nice mawther, But I can't git m'self a nice loaf of bread. No, I can't get m'self a nice loaf of bread. In the country or the town I've been fer miles arownd Ter orl the local bakers I kin see. But no matter where I go The answer's allus no When I ask them fer the bread That used ter be. I kin git m'self a nice dumplin' Or a nice bramble pie. Clams, cockles and sanfer An' yew know I tell no lie. I kin git m'self a nice partridge, Or a nice ole hare instead. I kin git m'self a nice corffin But I can't git a nice loaf of bread. "No more yer kin" I'm a discontented man And I dunt quite understand, Thass why I put this question ter yew: In the world we live terday Kin yew come ter me an' say Jist why they make the bread the way they dew. I kin git m'self a nice tarkey Or a nice ole duck as well. Where's there's chicken an' gravy There's a most excitin' smell. With a pin I kin tickle them winkles But jist like I hev said I kin git m'self a nice fewnral But I can't git a nice loaf o' bread.
