Fray Bentos (Song for Bav)

Oh pastry case take me to
Another place of happy
Times inside my mind
Succulent meat it’s always a
Real treat you make me
Wet inside my head
I like to lick the tin never
Miss a bit I love the
Rich gravy inside
Well I’m so full of joy I’m a
Happy boy when there’s some
Steak and kidney to bake
And I confess sometimes I can
Make a mess — I just can’t
Wait around for a plate
Straight from the tin no fussing no
Fiddling just go in
Deep and eat and eat and eat
Other pies, well they’re for other guys
Not bad, but I won’t compromise
I need the pies that come within
Blue tins with hard to open lids
Built to survive a nuclear
Bomb and withstand a hundred years
Sat in my kitchen cupboard I’ve no no fears
With Fray Bentos on my side
And now I’ve heard that you can save
Time by putting them straight in the
Microwave — a new concept for me
Pioneers of pie technology
Pasties are not the same at all
Though they can be acceptable
When you’re off in your motor car
And you don’t have a tin opener
But if you want the real deal then you should
Get Fray Bentos for your meal
(Fray Bentos) P-P-P-Pie Perfection
(Fray Bentos) Oh what a great selection
(Fray Bentos) Of meaty flavours
(Fray Bentos) The p-p-pastry saviours
(Fray Bentos) So stuff your pasties
(Fray Bentos) And lattice nasties
(Fray Bentos) The one and only
(Fray Bentos) You are the Holy Grail of meat based pastry products
