My very favourite meal it has to be said.

Is a bowl of scouse with crusty bread!

And where do I get my Scouse from?

Bexley’s Craft Butcher’s from Old Swan!

I buy it from The Anglican Cathedral too.

Our very own famous Liverpool stew!

Beef or lamb…which do you prefer.

As long as its Scouse, I don’t really care!

So, thank you sailors from days gone by.

I’m sure you all know the reason why.

As they brought ‘Lobscouse’ to our shore.

A delicious, cheap meal that fed the poor!

In harder times, when pennies were few.

‘Blind Scouse’ was served and had to do.

A Blind Scouse meal was totally meat free.

So just veg and spuds were served for tea!

Hot, filling Lobscouse, we took to our heart.

In our history, Lobscouse played a big part!

Gradually, we dropped ‘Lob’ from the name.

Then over the years, ‘Scousers’ we became!
