lyrics

The Farfar Bridie

Verse 1
Maggie Bridie was woman of her time
And a genius at the bakin’
She wisna faert tae try things oot
If she liked that she wis making

Verse 2
The laird asked Maggie for a load o’ pee’s
And he wanted them for Friday
But Maggie was fed up makin’ pee’s
So she invented the Farfar Bridie

Chorus
All hail tae the Farfar bridie
It’s no a pasty an’ it’s no a pee
And it could never ever be a sausage roll
Oh that’s a thought too awful to contemplate

Verse 3
Her creation was an overnight success
And they were scoffed ‘til there wisnae ony
Makin’ her the first celebrity chef
Wi’ a mention in Sentimental Tommy

Chorus

Verse 4
The Farfar Bridie comes in twa types
And perhaps they should be covered by European law
Ye can aften hear them asked for in Dundee
“a plen ane an an ingin ane an a"

Chorus
