The Dumpling Song - Pet Shop Boys

Dumplings!

Dumplings!

Lovely dumplings!

Mix them

Whack them

Roll them out

And smack them!

Bounce them

Boil them

Bashing them

Won’t spoil them

Flour and suet

Fry it up

Or stew it

Dumplings!

Oh, lovely dumplings!

Dumplings!

Dumplings!

Dear old dumplings!

So nutritious

Fill you up

Delicious!

A meal or a snack

At any time of day

You won’t stay hungry

When a dumpling’s on the way

Dumplings!

Oh, lovely dumplings!

Fit for a king

Essential for a prince

Particularly when

You serve them up

With mince

Make them sweet

With sugar and some custard

A savoury treat

With sausages and mustard

Don’t want to sound

Like I’m starting to get cocky

But Chinese call them wonton

And Italians gnocchi

Folks are eating them

All around the world

You want a dumpling?

Just say the word!

Dumplings!

Oh, lovely dumplings!

My lovely dumplings!
