I couldn't find a complete recording of this song online. The best I could find was a medley that contained only one verse and chorus. You can hear the medley at YouTube. This is the second song in the medley, after I'M HENERY THE EIGHTH I AM:


COVER IT OVER QUICK, JEMIMA
As sung by Harry Champion

VERSE: We had a chicken yesterday for dinner, yes we did,
And talk about a strong 'un! Why, it raised the saucepan lid.
It popped its head out when the missus went to give a stir.
It tried to sing "The Anchor's Weighed" until I said to her:

CHORUS: Cover it over quick, Jemima! Cover it over quick!
Grip the fork and hold it tight.
Mind your fingers. It wants to bite.
And oh, the smell! It's steady, strong and thick.
Just give it a chop on the tiddy-fal-lal* and cover it over quick. REPEAT

* On the repetition of the chorus, substitute "parson's nose."
