Celebrity Chefs read the Nursery Rhyme Classics
“Anthony Worrall-Thompson's Humpty Dumpty surpassed even Sir John Gielgud's Ride a Cock Horse...”
Celebrity Chefs read the Nursery Rhyme Classics was 2004's surprise Christmas success, following in the steps of the Power Rangers, Tracey Island and the Ninja Turtles, and becoming the top selling pastry related children's book of the last decade, taking the accolade from Harry Potter and the Saucerful of Secrets. Published by We're In It For The Money Press, the book delighted critics and readers alike with its gritty, full bodied and self-rising take on these children's classics.
Featuring many of Britain's best known celebrity chefs the book and subsequent audio book have spawned a whole host of related releases within related genres, including "Wayne Rooney reads Honoré_de_Balzac" and "Big Brother Contestants perform Gilbert and Sullivan", which featured Jade Goody's heartwarming rendition of "Willow, Tit-willow" from The Mikado, which would prove to be her last contribution to the arts.
Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall[edit]
Hey diddle-diddle,
The cat and the fiddle.
The little boy laughed to see such fun,
But he should be ashamed of himself, there's nothing funny in forcing over-bred ruminant stock to start jumping around for our enjoyment - it's just cruel.
Ainsely Harriott[edit]
Baa, baa, black sheep.
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. The studio is full
of tossers in a kitchen,
while grannies watch at home
'Ready, steady, cook', my arse.
Get my agent on the phone.
Gordon Ramsey[edit]
The fat old slag of York,
She had ten thousand men.
She fucked them up, on top of the hill
'til they went down on her again.
And when they were up she was screaming.
And when they went down she screamed more.
And when they were only half-way up,
she force-fed them Viagra, the dirty, ginger whore.
Keith Floyd[edit]
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
Early in the morning.
Put him on TV in a big girl's pinny,
Put him on TV in a big girl's pinny,
Put him on TV in a big girl's pinny,
Early in the morning
Hooray and sip the plonk now,
Hooray and sip the plonk now,
Hooray and sip the plonk now,
Early in the morning.
Jamie Oliver[edit]
Simple Simon met a pieman going to the school,
Said Simple Simon to the pieman; "What you doing, fool?"
Said Simple Simon to the pieman; "You can't serve kids that, see?"
"It's full of fat, and tastes like crap and only costs 12p."
Delia Smith[edit]
The man in the moon came down too soon
To sit and watch Norwich City;
The no-score draw was such a bore.
Relegation? Such a pity.
Nigella Lawson[edit]
Oats and beans and barley grow,
Oats and beans and barley grow,
Can you or I or anyone know,
How oats and beans and barley grow?
First the farmer ploughs the dirt,
The randy, randy little flirt,
Mmm, come on farmer sow your seed,
Stand erect and take your ease,
He claps his hands and strokes my thighs,
Listen to my screams and sighs.
He smears some chocolate on my chest,
And licks it off my buxom breasts.
He whips it out & in my dream,
He’s covered it in rich, whipped-cream.
