The Cockney Bible

by Gordon 15. December 2011 11:55

Just sharing this great skit wherein the Archbishop of Canterbury endorses a Cockney version of the Bible. Here's the Lord's Prayer in Cockney!

The Lords Prayer in Cockney!

Hello Dad
Up there in good ol' heaven
Your name is well great and holy and we respect you guv!
We hope we can all have a butcher's at heaven
And be there as soon as possible
And we wanna make you happy guv!

Happy Christmas everyone!

THE first cockney Bible, with Jesus speaking in rhyming slang, will be published in May with the endorsement of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Written by a religious education teacher from the East End of London, the Bible's account of the feeding of the 5,000 in Chapter VI of the Gospel of John becomes Jesus making a "Jim Skinner" (dinner). It describes him feeding 5,000 "geezers" from five loaves of "Uncle Ned" (bread) and two "Lilian Gish" (fish).

Now would you Adam and Eve it, the Good Book has been translated into Cockney rhyming slang. It was translated into slang by school teacher Mike Coles to make it more interesting for his East End pupils. Read on to see how a Cockney can now 'ave a butcher's at The Bible..........

Hi Folks. It’s Mike here, the author of the Bible in Cockney. Great to read all your comments, shame some have to resort to foul language….The God I believe in is someone who wants to communicate to all of us…for some people, God has spoken to them through the Bible in Cockney..which is lovely to hear. Ive had lovely letters from folk in prison who have never ‘given a toss’ about religion, the Bible etc…but when they came accross the Cockney Bible, they thought it was a great laugh, but at the same time, the message of Love still got through to them…that’s all that matters to me. It’s not a replacement to the King James or Good News version, it’s only an alternative that will appeal to some folk. I don’t mind all the criticism..foul language is a shame…little ignorant really…but no matter, God loves you all………Cheers me ol’ chinas!!!
