Someone's Pinched My Winkles - Rolf Harris

The cockney tribes in britain were meeting for the games

Held annually once a year along the river thames

The scene was quiet and peaceful the snow lay on

The ground

The cockneys by their cooking pots were huddled all around

The chief was in his tepee his face all lined

With wrinkles

When up the river came the cry

Someone's pinched me winkles

Me winkles have been pinched oobie dooby me winkles have

Been pinched

Now some people say it's a load of old nonsense

But a winkle's got a lot of vitamin contents

Never win that race tomorrow I'll be a big disgrace tomorrow

I'll search the blinking place tomorrow

But tomorrow is too late

Some rotter's pinched me winkles off me plate

I turned round and wheeeet they were gone

The tears of sheer frustration started trickling down his face well

He'd set his heart on winning in the gruelling barrow race

Without his final winkle feed his training scheme was shot

He staggered round the camp ground shouting

Someone's pinched the lot

Me winkles have been pinched oobie dooby me winkles have

Been pinched

Beef or carrots or a dash of cucumber

As far as I'm concerned that's a load of old lumber

I'll never win the race tomorrow he's got me in

Disgrace tomorrow

He'd better not show his face tomorrow he'll end up

In a fight

But me I need them winkles here tonight

Now I want 'em now not tomorrow or the next day

They called the wise old medicine man who shuffled up

And said

I'm levying a winkle tax one winkle each per head

They made a grand collection from every tucker pot

Then stood around the shells and all they made me

Eat the lot

I've got me winkles back oobie dooby I've got me

Winkles back

Now I know I've been grumping and grousing

But I never thought I'd get two or three thousand

I'll never win that race tomorrow I can't go in

That race tomorrow

I couldn't stand the pace tomorrow

I'm much to blinking fat

I'll never face a winkle after that

Phew I think I'll go and try out something new

You know just to see how it feels

I think I'll have a dash at some jellied eels

Excuse me a minute while I just get this newspaper

Off this bit of jellied eel here

That's lovely

Here you with the winkle barrow hello

As far as I'm concerned you can stick your perishing

Winkles right back in the sea

It's jellied eels for me
