Mr Bodger the Fish Fryer

Lyrics

[Verse]
Mr Bodger fries fish in his seaside shack
Always got a scheme to pay the bookies back
Grey hair like Omar Sharif in a pub coat so long
Lager in his hand he sings his own gritty song

[Verse]
Crispy fillets fly like gold from his pan
But in the bookies realm he's a gambling man
Dreams of riches from the edges of town
Even when he loses he's never feeling down

[Chorus]
Bodger's got a love for the reels and the spin
Living for the thrill of the gambler's grin
Fish fryin' by day while the dice roll by night
Living on the edge but his heart feels right

[Verse]
Faded posters on the wall from back in the day
Bodger's got a story if you dare to stay
A fighter in the ring of numbers and chance
Labour in the kitchen always leads to a dance

[Bridge]
In the crackle of the oil he's alive and free
Birds of fortune taking him out to sea
Grey strands like silver lining his crown
Omar Sharif would sit and smile down

[Chorus]
Bodger's got a love for the reels and the spin
Living for the thrill of the gambler's grin
Fish fryin' by day while the dice roll by night
Living on the edge but his heart feels right
