Lyrics Mark Knopfler

My Bacon Roll

I never got the elbow

Just telling you

Before you go

Only telling you

Just so you know

I never got the elbow

I slung it in

Had it up to here

I just pulled the pin

Went and had a beer

I used to love a bit of folding

Just for getting by

A wad of cash

Now that's out of date

And so am I

As pie and mash

S'cuse me, s'cuse me

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

The time they took us bowling

What was that about?

I thought what a joke

I just went out

And had a smoke

Then the white water rafting

Just some know-it-all

With the new regime

There to show us all

How to build a team

He says what do you think we're doing?

I said don't ask me

I've no idea

They all laughed at that

That was pretty funny actually

S'cuse me, s'cuse me

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

Have you got my roll?

My roll? My bacon roll?

I could order you a toastie

Just like that one there

Or the same in plain white bread

When you're dealing with a toastie

What do you prefer

Brown or red?

I never got the elbow

Just telling you

Before you go

Only telling you

Just so you know
