Subject: Lyr/Chords Req: Jellied Eels & Henry's Fish and Ch
Does anyone have the words to the above mentioned Songs?

I think they were both old Music Hall numbers that were resurrected in the 60's by Joe Brown and the Bruvvers.

I can remember the first verse and Chorus of Jellied Eels -

Now ever since I was a mite
I've had a whacking appetite
Yes I had an appetite that woudl raise the rafters
Swallowed my befores as well as my afters
'Til one Sunday afternoon
They bunged something in my spoon
Well I think it's ever since then
I've had an irresistable Yen - for

Jellied Eels Jellied Eels
Wobbling about like wonky wheels
Why d'you smile and look so sickly
Slide 'em down your throat and quickly
Don't bring up any empty cup
'Cos I know just how you feels
When you get to taste 'em Won't want to waste 'em
Lovely Jellied Eels.


Now Cockles and Whelks are fine
I've flogged 'em since the age of nine
...................................

That's all I can remember, Can anyone help with the rest please?

As far as Henry's fish and chips, I can only remember bits of the Chorus -

Oh - Haddock or Cod or Plaice or Skate
Filleted Dover Sole.
............................
Mackeral by the shole
I tell you everythings fresh and newly fried
Hot to the finger tips
You've never eaten til you've tried
Our 'Enry's fish and chips.

Waiting with fingers crossed

Cheers
