verse 1 
Am 
One smoky day in a darkened scullery 
C                      G 
Down by the river in a factory town 
      Am 
Where bad things happen & the walls are drippn' 
        C          G                 Am 
And the ghosts are flittin' frae the cold hard ground 
  Am 
A pot & kettle on the hob were settled 
   C                       G 
A' hissin' their patter so bileous cruel 
   Am 
An awfy matter o' clout & claterin' 
C        G         Am 
Battlin' wits in a hideous duel

Am 
Lids a rattlin' belchin' steam 
C                       G 
Life ain't nothin but a fevered dream 
          Am 
'You're a lowly villain' 

'You're a terrible liar' 
           C         G              Am 
'But we're both here cookin' on the same old fire' 
Am 
Guts a bubblin' belchin' steam 
C                       G 
Life ain't nothin but a fevered dream 
          Am 
'You're a chanty pot' 

'And you're a shite for brains' 
           C         G              Am 
'But we're both here hangin' on the same old chains' 


verse 2 
      Am 
"I've roasted a wealth of exotic things 
    C                      G 
All torn to ribbons at the hands of kings 
Am 
Polished copper how I proudly shone 
C           G           Am 
Stealin the fire of the blazing sun" 

       Am 
"Ye've boilt nae mair'n 'em old soup bones 
     C                      G 
I've boilt the tea for them stately homes 
       Am 
I were rattled like a drum each Hogmanay 
     C                G            Am 
Then scrubbed tae the devil on the follwin' day"

verse 3 
   Am 
"O kettle yer metal is a terrible hue 
C                        G 
Riddled wi' holes cannae hold yer brew 
    Am 
Yer lids all crooked & yer sides bashed in 
      C      G             Am 
It'll not be long afore ye see the bin" 

 Am 
"Pot your not so bright as me 
  C                    G 
A hags old cauldron is all you'd be 
    Am 
You reek o' gruel & you're none too young 
C          G             Am 
Fit for to carry but the peels & dung"
