A man bought a chip shop and started doing very well,

After a few months he started to get a very good clientele,

Other things he sold were fish, sausages, curries, pies and peas,

The food and shop were spotless for the customers he aimed to please.

He worked there for seven days a week. It was hard,

There wasn't too much fun,

It was all to buy a house in the Caribbean and

To just lie there in the sun.

He had that shop for 20 years, what I am

Telling you was a cert,

He finished up after all that time an efficient

Chip expert.
