  • Cheese and onion sandwiches and Derby chinaware, fiddles and jigs, Woogie me dog, me aunty Vi having a swear
    Taking me dad for a pint or two and a Sunday morning stroll. Licorice pipes and baggy suits, Glenn Hoddle scoring a goal
    Catching a pike and riding me bike, old wooden wheels and a bowl of eels

    That's what I like, That's what I like

    Pie and mash in liquor and walking about in the rain. Reading books, comical looks, pianos, tramps and trains
    Old films on the telly and picking the kids up from school, coal n cockles and thunderstorms and plays on the wireless and all
    Grandfather clocks and Coke and brandy, fountain pens and the Beano & Dandy

    That's what I like, That's what I like

    Little pubs out in the country, mother of pearl and Barnet fare
    The sound of a banjo, barber shop singing and having a kip in the chair, burnt toast and beer from the wood and old
    Terry Thomas's teeth, Jerry n Chet, Cannon & Ball and banjo picking Bill Keith, Home baked loaves and wood burning stoves
    and Shirley Mclain and Peticoat Lane.

    That's what I like, That's what I like

    Bubble and squeak and jumble sales, Little Richard and Jerry Lee. Bonfire nights, South end lights and paddling in the sea
    Polished brass and copper, Salvation army bands, Violins and old coach inns, and colored elastic bands
    Tea in the morning and winter beginning, Fishing rods, frogs and Spurs are winning

    That's what I like, That's what I like

    A day at the races, old Fender basses, going down hopping in Kent. A new pair of braces, little kids faces, sleeping out under a tent
    And waggons and chickens and picking blackberries and swallows and sledges and Devon and cherries and haddock and trotters
    and horses and nippers and cider and celery banjo and kippers

    That's what I like, That's what I like Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
