The Spinners are from Liverpool and they did record a song called Dip and Fall back the reason is that I have it somewhere on record and the man the sings it is called Cliff Hall.

I manged to find the words because I found it in their songbook

Dip and fall back


When the war was over and everything was scarce everyone experimented with things to fill the space
We had plenty of ground food but meat was out of stock but boy me remember the good old days of dip and fall back

Ch
Dip and fall back dip and fall take my advice go learn fi cook the dip and fall back

Get your shad and mackerel and put it to boil get a bone-dry coconut you need no pork
Grater down the coconut and put it to boil and when the custard settle down in the coconut oil

Get your shad and mackerel and put it to steam set your pepper scallion and then you make some cream
And out of all them dishes with mutton pork and sprat none of them is as nice as dish of dip and fall back

Ah get your mug of beverage to sip with every dip get a big banana and every dip you sip
And if war continues and bombs begin to drop I could have faced a tank or a long-range gun with my dip and fall back

When the war was over and eveything was scarce,
