Fagan’s Chipper Van


Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh

Oh me name is Johnny Fagan, I’m a hard working man.
An’ I always wanted for to own a little chipper van.
I bought a Buy and Sell, it’s full of ads you know.
Then I seen an ad for a chipper van in the County of Mayo.

Chorus

Did you ever wonder why, I got vinger in me eye?
Would you like a little sausage?
I’ve a lovely little sausage.
Would you like to buy a sausage,
From me little chipper van?

I godder up a few auld bob and off I did go,
Sure I bought the little chipper van in the County of Mayo.
It used to be a bread van of Mooney and O’Brien,
But now it’s a little chipper van an’ I’m glad that it is mine.

Chorus

I buy all me spuds in Wexford, the greatest spuds around.
The make powerful chips, the got no frost in the ground.
The chicken comes from Kellistown, fish from the Irish sea.
All cooked by Johnny Fagan, Johnny Fagan now thats me.

Chorus

I sell all kinds of burgers, coke and curry too.
If your feeling kinda hungry, you know now what to do.
If you see Fagan’s chipper, parked outside a pub.
You now Johnny Fagan only sells the best a grub.

Final Chorus

Did you ever wonder why, I got vinger in me eye?
Would you like a little sausage?
I’ve a lovely little sausage.
Would you like to buy a sausage,
From me little chipper van?…. Would you like to buy a sausage,
From the Johnny Fagan man?
