Don't throw away your chip chopper charlie
were frying the governor tonight
he was on the side board a chopping up chips
when all of a sudden he happened to slip
right into the boiling hot dripping
he tumbled in heels over head
don't throw away your chip chopper charlie
were frying the governor instead.
