Someone have said them sense a theme in me song lyrics. Still, is there a grander subject fer a song than biscuits? Naw, thought not!
Best sung to the tune of "Do you want your old lobby washed down", below in a version of Foster and Allen. It includes a rascally young lass who loves biscuit and a rascally old Thain who does the same. Yer just know that crumbs have ter fly from such a combination!
[video type="youtube" clip_id="gt7BZqgQuAs"] Foster and Allen - Do you want the old lobby washed down
The song was first performed by the Songburrow Strollers at this years Winterstock, on January 19th 2014. Enjoy!
Come and give me a biscuit or two
In the north is a town on the edge of the fields Home to hobbits and sheepdogs alike Here a mother of one shook her head in despair Her lass had expressed her dislike No vegs she would eat nor no taters or meat She just wailed and she yelled and she cried A whimper and frown as she jumped up and down Then she looked at her mother and smiled
Come and give me a biscuit or two, wohoo Come and give me a biscuit or two Now a pie would be grand but please hear me demand Come and give me a biscuit or two
Now the thain came to visit this bright summer day And he wanted his afternoon tea And the table was decked with the best silverware Just under the old willow tree The evening breeze brought both butter and cheese Lovely pastry and warm mutton stew The thain shook his head and he moped as he said Come and give me a biscuit or two
Come and give me a biscuit or two, wohoo Come and give me a biscuit or two Now a pie would be grand but please hear me demand Come and give me a biscuit or two
Now the battle was on for this favourite treat Neither lassie nor thain would back down They both jumped for the jar with a withering howl The fight could be heard through the town They cried with dismay when the jar rolled away And it fell in the hands of a shrew Such a sight as the pair chased the shrew to its lair Come and give me a biscuit or two
Come and give me a biscuit or two, wohoo Come and give me a biscuit or two Now a pie would be grand but please hear me demand Come and give me a biscuit or two
