If you're cooking something strong
You might think that it's all gone wrong
But it's not
You just made it that way.


When you're working late at night
You may feel the ingredients are not quite right
But they are
You mixed them yourself.


And it doesn't really matter if you burn it all
Throw it at the wall
Roll it into a ball
Or two.
'Cause it's only a Lancashire hot-pot.


It doesn't matter how much mess you make,
How long it takes,
If it's roast or baked
Or stewed.
'Cause it's only a Lancashire hot-pot.


If the smell makes you cough
And you think that the flavour is a little bit 'off'
Well, it's not
We just like it that way.
