Once in the window of a ham and beef shop Two little sausages sat One was a lady and the other was a gentleman, Sausages are like that He fell a victim to her simple charm, And her form he would have embraced But a sausage you see never has any arms, And the lady hasn't got any waist. Chorus: What a pair of happy little sausages Their's was a very pleasant fate So they snuggled up together in the chilly Winter weather Both on the same cold plate Well, it wasn't such a very cold plate. One sad day those sausages quarrelled Ended all their joy The reason was that she said she caught him winking At a saucy little saveloy ''Pooh' my dear' said the gentleman sausage 'You may think I'm a flirt, well, I am But I've seen you sitting on the same bit of parsley As that wicked old knuckle of ham.' Chorus: What a pair of very silly little sausages Their's was a bitter, bitter pill For they very quickly parted and it left her broken hearted While he joined a bad mixed grill Yes, it really was a very mixed grill. Long years after on a luncheon counter Those little sausages met She was engaged to the wing of a chicken But he hadn't got off yet Soon they were reconciled, and then, of course She consented to name the day So the barmaid dressed her in a tissue paper frill And the waiter gave her away. Chorus: What a pair of jolly little sausages Nothing their happiness can dash And on any day you'll meet e'm for there's no one wants to eat 'em He calls her his own sweet mash So you see they are sausage and mash. |
