Busy at the Chippy by Terry Wigmore

Summer is marked by certain experiences, from swimming, to strolls along boardwalks, to...well...waiting in queues of all kinds as summer sees people fill outdoor spaces. Keith has a keen eye for observing these experiences and finding humour and stories in all of it. Welcoming our special guest voice - Sheila - the server at the window , whose calming, inquiring presence makes the lineup tolerable ;) Note: the term "poutine" on the side of the chip truck makes this a uniquely Canadian flavour :) Track 5 from the Wigmore Allen Gibbons album called SHYLING found at https://www.terrywigmore.com/wigmore-allen-gibbons Busy at the Chippy I was standing in the queue And there was more than quite a few That to be … perfectly blunt Wanted to murder the guy…the guy at the front 5 cod and chips…3 fries with garlic dips A lamb shish kabab…and a happy meal for that bugger at the back” It was busy at the Chippy…so busy at the Chippy It was busy at the Chippy…Ooh baby tonight Well I kept on standing there Feeling hungry right in there When I could be doing something… Something much better on a Saturday night. Than waiting for… 5 cod and chips…3 fries with garlic dips A lamb shish kabab…and a happy meal for that bugger at the back” Chippy woman: “We don’t do salad…Do’ya want salt ‘n vinegar on them love? How’s your Mary’s feet? … Oooooh, I know” (INST) (CHORUS) “…oh and I want 4 scampi and salad…5 haddock lightly battered 3 sausages in a lovely curry…and a happy meal for that bugger in a hurry” Chippy woman: “That’ll be £226 and 10p for a carrier bag, love! ... Will ya need that in dollars pet?” Wigmore: Music, Production Allen: Lyrics, Guitars, Bass, Vocals Special Guest: Sheila (vocals/lyrics)
