One smoky day in a darkened scullery Doon by the river in a factory town Where bad things happen & the walls are drippin' And the ghosts are flittin' frae the cold hard ground A pot & kettle on the hob were settled A' hissin' their patter so bileous cruel An awfy matter o' clout & claterin' Battlin' wits in a hideous duel
Lids a rattlin' belchin steam Life ain't nothin but a fevered dream "You're a lowly villain" "You're a terrible liar" "But were both here cookin' on the same old fire" Guts a bubblin belchin steam Life ain't nothin but a fevered dream "You're a chanty pot" "And you're a shite for brains" "But were both here hangin' on the same old chains"
"I've roasted a wealth of exotic things All torn to ribbons at the hands of kings Polished copper how I proudly shone Stealin' the fire of the blazing sun"
"Ye've boilt nae mair'n 'em old soup bones I've boilt the tea for them stately homes I were rattled like a drum each Hogmanay Then scrubbed tae the devil on the follwin' day"

"O kettle yer metal is a terrible hue Riddled wi' holes cannae hold yer brew Yer lids all crooked & yer sides bashed in It'll no be long afore ye see the bin"
"Pot your not so bright as me A hags old cauldron is all you'd be You reek o' gruel & yourenone too young Fit for to carry but the peels & dung"
