A Very Fine Pie

Here’s a pie a very fine pie the man says to his wife
The finest pie you’ve baked for me ever in all of my life
The meat is tender the gravy thick the pastry crisp and light
Call the children in to eat we’ll have a feast tonight
Call the children in to eat we’ll have a feast tonight

His wife replies they are not here they’re gone to play in woods
You must eat the pie my love which looks and tastes so good
Eat the pie and eat it all leave not a scrap on the plate
For this is a very special sort of pie that I have baked
For this is a very special sort of pie that I have baked

This truly is the prince of pies the man says as he eats
There’s flavoursome steak and kidney here you’ve cooked me up a treat
It seems a shame to dine alone on food so tasty and rare
Call the children in to eat so they can have their share
Call the children in to eat so they can have their share

His wife replies they are not here they’ve gone to the chapel to pray
You must eat the pie my love that you so highly praise
Half of it you have consumed now take what still remains
I tell you true I never will make a pie like this again
I tell you true I never will make a pie like this again

That was a pie a very fine pie he says as he clears his plate
I do declare this pie you baked the best that ever I ate
A perfect savory wonder and this is no word of a lie
Call the children in so I can tell of this marvelous pie
Call the children in so I can tell of this marvelous pie

His wife replies I will not call they never did listen to me
And ever since i came to your house they used me villainously
And you give no rebuke or blame whenever they may do wrong
And now there’s no returning from the place where they have gone
And now there’s no returning from the place where they have gone

I will not call they cannot come and I will tell you why
I murdered them and cut them up and baked them in your pie
That very same pie you gobbled down the way you always do
The special pie that very fine pie that I made just for you
The special pie the very fine pie that I made just for you
