It’s a gravy boat Gravy is delicious It’s a gravy boat For your appetite Spicy, nicey onions float In the lovely gravy boat If you should want to know It’s not a train Don’t buy a ticket That’s not cricket It’s a gravy boat And it contains Liquid velvet for the throat Absurdly decadent and smooth It’s a gravy boat, not a gravy train I pour gravy on my food It’s a gravy boat It’s not a train If it was then I’d complain A train is always late And I refuse to wait Anyway, railway food’s appalling Wait, I hear my dinner calling It’s a s......... gravy boat Now we’ve got that right Bon, bon bon............ Bon appetite!  (or appetit?) Anyway if there ever was a gravy train, (and I’m not saying there was,) the last train has gone forever, utterly broken, irreparable, too many politicians scrabbling to climb aboard, (don’t you watch the news darling?)
