Hello . . .

Not many people know that Adele's number one Hello, was originally inspired by a telephone conversation she had to her home town months before. So below is the original lyrics she penned to her hit before changing them to something more marketable.

[Good morning! Greggs, Tottenham High Street.
How can I help you?...]
------
Hello, it's me,
Tummys rumbling after all these years now I'd like some meat,
To go order, everything
They say this time I'm thinner cos I ain't done much eatin'

Hello, can you hear me?
I'm in California dreaming 'bout the pies I used to eat,
When I was younger and free
I'd forgotten how it felt before when I could see my feet.

There's such a distance between us
About a million miles.

Hello send another pie,
Sausage rolls or curry slice
I need food, I'm hungry, for everything that you've done
But when I call you never send me iced buns.

Hello send another pie
At least something that has been fried
I know you, will tell me, it's bad for my heart
But it don't matter, my BMI is way off the chart
Send me more.

Hello, how are you?
It's so typical of me to think about my food, I'm sorry
I hope you're stocked well
Still waiting for something from Tottenham town but nothing yet has happened.

It's no secret that the local bus
has an arse the size of mine

So hello send another pie
Your pasties and your bakes I'll buy
I need food I'm hungry for everything that you've done
But when I call, you never, send me current buns.

Hello send another pie
A Belgian bun and Christmas slice
I won't tell you, I'm sorry, for risking my heart
Send me a platter, but don't be downwind when I fart
I need more, ooooohh
I need more, ooooohh
I need more, ooooohh
I need more, I need more

Hello send another pie
A baguette filled with chicken thigh
I need food, I'm hungry, for everything that you've done
But when I call you never send me cream buns.

Hello send another pie
There must something I've not tried?
I need food, I'm sorry, do you have treacle tart?
Cos it don't matter, my diets gonna have to restart
I need more.
