B.A.C.O.N. and E.G.G.s

(Braddock / Putman)

Chorus:
We're having B.A.C.O.N. and E.G.G.s for breakfast today
And that's her U.N.C.L.E. sitting on the breakfast tray
We're careful not to use L.A.R.D. in our recipes
We can't stop having B.A.C.O.N. and E.G.G.s

Our brute Sal is four years old, a cheerful little hog
She's our little farmhouse pet and smarter than any dog
She's so smart we have to spell the words we don't want her to guess
Like H.A.M. and S.P.A.R.E. R.I.B.S.

See her smile - romance has found her, yesterday she fell
Plumb in love with a F.O.O.T.B.A.double L.
But look, she's squeezing it so hard the air's all coming out
And I can't bear to see them teardrops dripping down her snout

(as sung by Iain MacKintosh)

[1975:] [This is] country-cum-music hall (NOT a parody, as this was written when Tammy Wynette was knee high to a spangled cowboy boot). (Hamish Imlach, notes Iain MacKintosh, 'Encore')
