I am looking for the Lyrics to this song which by searching Mudcat I've found to be on the In the family way album.

Thanks

David

Someone called Rob D was collecting all the Kippers lyrics in this thread. I for one thought he was intending to put them somewhere on the web, but there's no sign of them. We gave him all the lyrics he hadn't got and he appears to have gone away happy (he hasn't posted, apparently, since 1999). Unfortunately, he didn't post any of the lyrics he had got and this was one of them.

We seem to have provided a full set of lyrics for his personal collection. Unfortunately this doesn't appear to have been made available.

Never mind!
Ian

Here ya go ,mate,

NORFOLK AND GOOD
(Kipper Family)
In praise of our county we're going to sing
Against this fine place we will not hear a thing
If you speak ill about it, you speak a falsehood
F or our native county is Norfolk and good.

Norfolk and good Norfolk and good
We are the boys who are Norfolk and good

Now Nelson from Norfolk he took on the world
Lady Hamilton thought him an absolute pearl
But Hardy said Nelson was misunderstood,
He reckoned his kissing was Norfolk and good

Now Kent have its hops and the Cornish their pasties
And Lancashire hot pot can be awfully tasty
In Cheshire there's cheese and in Yorkshire there's pud
But my wifes' old dumplings are Norfolk and good.

Now the rich folk of London our county have found
Which means that the houses cost thousands of pounds
They all feel at home in our neighbourhood
So we let them know that they' re Norfolk and good

Now our Norfolk turkeys are simply the best,
They sure knock the stuffing out of the rest
And if you tried one I'm sure that you would
Agree that our turkeys are Norfolk and good.

Norfolk and good, Norfolk and good,
We are the boys who are Norfolk and good.

The brother in law is from Norwich, and tells me that a favourite football chant is/was

We are the boys of - Norfolk
We don't smoke,
We don't drink - Norfolk.

Reminds me of a song I once composed in honor of the little town of Shaftsburg. Thanks for the lyrics, which I'll be careful to sing quite slowly and distinctly while sober.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

And for that, he apologizes. Intended to, thought I actually did -- faulty memories abound. But never got back to it, life intervened.

Never did complete all the the lyrics, nor did I ever get any of the Crab Wars transcribed. Maybe someday.

But, here are the collected song booklets as I managed to finally put together. They are all Microsoft Word. Formatted as Booklets, they are intended to be printed two sided, and they then come out as a nice little 5.5"x8.5" booklet. I also include a plain text version.

Forgive me my trespasses, and especially, my omissions:

• Arrest These Merry Gentleman   {plain text version}



• Ever Decreasing Circle   {plain text version}



• Fresh Yesterday   {plain text version}



• In the Family Way   {plain text version}



• Since Time Immoral   {plain text version}



• Rhinestone Plowboy, and others   {plain text version}
