The Dumpling Song (Demo From My Dad's A Birdman) Songtext
von Pet Shop Boys

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
