That's What I Like Mick (the Sandwich Song) - Tori Amos

Cheese and onion sandwiches and Derby chinaware
fiddles and jigs and boogie my dog, Auntie Vee having a swear
taking my dad for a pint or two, a sunday morning stroll
licorice pipes and baggy suits, Glen Hoddle scoring a goal
catching a pike and riding my bike, old wooden wheels and a bowl of eels

yes, that's what I like boy
that's what I like

pie and mash and liquor, walking about in the rain
William books and comical looks, pianos trams and trains
coals and cockles and thunder storms, a place on the [wallace and ow](?)
grandfather clocks and coke and brandy
fountain pens and Beano and Dandy

that's what I like
I said, that's what I like

little pubs out in the country, mother pearl and Barnet Faire
the sound of the banjo barbershop singing and having a kip in the chair
burning toast a beer from the wood and old terry thomas' teeth
Jerry and Chet and Cannon & Ball, a banjo picking bill keith
and old bungalows wood burning stoves
and Shirley MacLaine and Petticoat Lane

that's what I like,
said that's what I like
yes, boy
yes that's just a...

bubble and squeak and jumble sales, Little Richard and Jerry Lee
bonfire night and Southend nights, paddle in the sea
polished brass and copper, salvation army bands
violins and old coach inns, and colored elastic bands
tea in the morning and winter beginning
fishing rods and frogs and spurs and winning years

that's what I like
hey, that's what I like

decorations off in the bases, going down hopping in Kent
a new pair of braces little kids faces sleeping under the tin
and wagons chickens and picking blackberries and swallows and sledges
and Devon and jerries and haddock and trotters horses and knickers
and cider and celery and banjoes and kippers
yeah, that's I like boy
that's what I like
