Story behind the song
My old gig buddy Max Cole and I have always had fun with the cockney accent. He started off the lyric and I finished it.
Lyrics
Chorus.
That's a nasty cough you've got sir
That's a nasty cough you've got
We'll wrap you up in an iron bed,
'cos if we don't you'll soon be dead
and you can't say that we ain't said
That's a nasty cough you've got.
You were a famous fiddler
You fiddled all your friends
You fiddled with your violin
and one day made it bend
You fiddled with your mother's gin
and fiddled just for fun
You fiddled with what the cat brought in
and now your fiddling's done
Ch.
There's a nasty smell on the landing
It's coming from your door
It wafts up through your ceiling
and comes down through your floor
It could be what your smoking
or something gone to rot
Get some Vick and rub it on quick
That's a nasty cough you've got
Ch.
That's a nasty song you're singing
That's a nasty song is that
You're tone is much too piercing.
You're pitch is rather flat
You'll never get a penny
in your old tin pot
Those bells will soon be ringing
That's a nasty cough you've got.
Ch.

That's a nasty cough you've got sir
That's a nasty cough you've got

'cos if we don't you'll soon be dead
and you can't say that we ain't said
That's a nasty cough you've got.
