LYRICS

Some people get confused you know
About the names of meals
If you say lunch then dinner
I must lodge an appeal
If you’re from the South, you say it wrong
You’re incorrect you see
It’s not breakfast lunch and dinner.
It’s breakfast dinner tea

Breakfast dinner tea
Let’s all say it the right way
Breakfast dinner tea
Come sIng along wi’ me
Lunch is just for Southerners
On that we can agree, coz
The three square meals you have each day
Are Breakfast dinner tea

(Breakfast Dinner Tea)
(Breakfast Dinner Tea)

If you have lunch not dinner then
You really are a fool
Coz each of us had dinner ladies
When we were at school
You’re either right or wrong you know
The topic’s binary
It’s not breakfast lunch and dinner.
It’s breakfast, dinner, tea

Breakfast dinner tea
Let’s all say it the right way
Breakfast dinner tea
Come sIng along wi’ me
Lunch is just for Southerners
On that we can agree
Coz the three square meals you have each day
Are Breakfast dinner tea

(Breakfast Dinner Tea)
(Breakfast Dinner Tea)

Those are the names of your three meals
Remember what I said
And supper’s something that you have
Before you go to bed
Please understand, it’s common sense
You don’t need a degree
It’s not breakfast lunch and dinner.
It’s breakfast - dinner - tea

Breakfast dinner tea
Let’s all say it the right way
Breakfast dinner tea
Come sIng along wi’ me
Lunch is just for Southerners
On that we can agree
Coz the three square meals you have each day
Are Breakfast dinner tea
The only thing that you should say is
Breakfast dinner tea

  • Was having this debate with a friend from Lincoln not 2 days ago, thank you for providing musical support to my argument, legends
  • @SVoided
    Can’t wait for my chippy TEA tis Friday
  • Got here from receiving the following: "Sixteen of the best songs ever released by Wigan musicians, as chosen by our readers" A humorous and enjoyable song from The Lancashire Hotpots, which probably appeals more to us Lancashire folk. Good luck to them. By the way, I certainly cannot agree with the list "Sixteen of the best..." as some are not from Wigan and many Wigan bands, musicians, song writers are missing from the list.

    Coming from Teesside in the north east, and having a baby girl to a partner from leeds, who calls herself a northerner (we all know Leeds is the midlands at best, someone cocked up) but for some reason uses the term lunch, and calls her tea her dinner. I just say that was 5 hours ago. It disgusts me beyond words and i can’t allow my daughter to be raised inclined to believe tea is just a drink. Thankyou for your service, LH. I will refer to this for the rest of my life in times of need and distress.

    I'm a working clas southerner and 100% agree with you. I hate and deplore the term lunch. As far as I'm concerned it is a stuck up word. I will be sharing this song with anyone that contradicts me/us.
  • @TJ-HBMCC
    Deffo lunch then dinner like, class song though
  • I'm half Lincolnshire and half Yorkshire. Both my parents called it breakfast, dinner and tea. My son is nephew of a bloke living with his wife who was born in Bolton , they say Breakfast,lunch and dinner.
  • @jonstreet1498
    Working class southerner here, it’s 💯 breakfast dinner tea! Just had to show my kids as they correct me everytime I say it’s dinner time at midday or tea at tea time!
  • I'm a new Zealander and I've always had breakfast lunch then dinner in the evening
  • Another absolute banger from the Hotpots. Imagine having lunch ladies instead of dinner ladies 🤷‍♂️
  • @roberthonan3492
    Tea should be an afternoon snack, and they didn't even mention second breakfast!
