LYRICS:
Wow! That feels hot
Cos I'm boiling my pot
We eat veggies a lot
That's all us poor folk have got
Boiled veg
My bed
(I got one room!)
​
Tudor kitchen is nice
I'm cooking with spice
Goodbye fire pit
Hello fireplace and spit
There's no bed
Cos instead
I got more rooms
​
Wow!
Living in a Tudor house
And knives and spoons are what we use
Yeah, living in a Tudor house
On the floor is where the sculliers snooze
​
I'm using pots
In fact, I got lots
(Yeah!) And dishes and pans
Full of pastries and flans
I roast
I bake
Pies and cake
​
Wow!
Cos I'm living in a Georgian house
Fewer spits, now ovens are it
I'm living in a Georgian house
Using coal makes cooking a stroll
Wow!
​
[Hey, should I take it to the fridge?
Take it to the fridge.
To my brand-new fridge.
And do you like my washing machine? Oh!]
​
The room's got lights
Now we're cooking at night
I got a sink
To wash away stink
Hot tap
Drying rack
And a dishwasher, too
​
So now we're living in a '50s house
All mod cons we can't do without
Living in a '50s house
We're better off
So let's eat out
​
