The Dumpling Song (Demo from "My Dad's a Birdman")

Dumplings, dumplings, lovely dumplings Mix them, whack them, roll 'em out and smack them Bounce 'em, boil 'em Bashing them won't spoil 'em 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 savory 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
