lyrics

Oh, it’s time for breakfast but if you please
I don’t want my usual toast and cheese
I’m tired of bagels and soft boiled eggs
When I sit down at the table in the morn.

I’ve had it with bread and jelly and jam
I don’t eat bacon and I don’t eat ham
I want something different on my breakfast
plate
When I sit down at the table in the morn.
Well, I went to the deli just down the street
And I asked what they had that I wanted to
eat
The waitress chewed her pencil and then she
asked
“Have you ever thought of kippers in the
morn?
They’re sweet and smoky with a golden hue
The English love them and so will you
They’re great with bagels and cheaper than
lox
They’re a natural for your breakfast in the
morn.”

Oh, dem golden kippers
Oh, dem golden kippers
Golden kippers I love so well
There’s nothing can compete
Oh, dem golden kippers
Oh, dem golden kippers
Golden kippers I love so well
And that’s what I shall eat.

Now, dem golden kippers have such appeal
That I like to eat a dozen at every meal
I eat ’em at supper and I eat ’em at lunch
And not just breakfast in the morn.
Wash ’em down with coffee, wash ’em
down with tea
Eat a golden kipper and you’ll agree
That this smoky little, golden little herring
fish
Is the best you ever “et” since you were
born.

Oh, dem golden kippers
Oh, dem golden kippers
Golden kippers I love so well
There’s nothing can compete
Oh, dem golden kippers
Oh, dem golden kippers
Golden kippers I love so well
And that’s what I shall eat.
