==Lyrics == 
:Love is like cum, you gag but you swallow
:As it goes down your windpipe and comes out tomorrow.
: Never forget that you'll never remember
:My name once you take your lips off my member
: Mumma's in the kitchen cookin' fish and chips,
:Daddy's in the toilet bombin' battle ships.
: Mumma's in the kitchen cookin' fish and chips,
:Daddy's in the toilet bombin' battle ships.
:Remember the days when you were a lad
:Tryin' to root the arse off your mum
:Or blow the fuck outta dad.
:Or and if you're a lassie, that part of you achin'
: For the man who kissed mum and brought home the bacon.
: Mumma's in the kitchen cookin' fish and chips,
:Daddy's in the toilet bombin' battle ships.
: Mumma's in the kitchen cookin' fish and chips,
:Daddy's in the toilet bombin' battle ships.
:What happens now? We're as naked as babies
: All over each other like video rabies
:In each other's jockettes, long may we wallow,
:Love is like cum; you gag but you swallow.
: Mumma's in the kitchen cookin' fish and chips,
:Daddy's in the toilet bombin' battle ships.
: Mumma's in the kitchen cookin' fish and chips,
:Daddy's in the toilet bombin' battle ships.
:Well... the fascinating witches who put the scintillating stitches in the britches of the boys who put the-- (belch) --powder on the noses of the faces of the ladies of the harem of the court of King Caractacus
:Were just passing by!
:
:All together now-gether now
:Passing by
:All together now
:Passing by
:All together now
:Passing by
:All together now
:Passing by
:All together now
:Passing by--
:--ssing by
:All togeth--
