lyrics

There was a fantastic pasty
At the station and I just
Had to have it I said to Christine
Get that smell that pristine crust
A moment there to savour
One I wished I could record
Christine said: “I’ll go and check the departures board”

There was a fantastic pasty
A once in a lifetime treat
From off a cart, a work of art
I hardly had the heart to eat
Well I picked it up with both hands
No time for airs and graces
Christine said: “I’ll go and find a trolley for me cases”

It was a fantastic pasty
Not just full of ligaments and gristle
And while I ate
It tasted great
The gadgie must have blown his whistle
I realised I was alone
Potentially bereft
I could have gone chasing after her but I still had a little bit left

It was a fantastic pasty
Nobody could deny it
I’d offered her a bite but she was on the Atkins diet
I ran off to the platform
I could see her from the back
Struggling with luggage trying to get it on the rack

It was a fantastic pasty
Not one bit went to waste
I ate every crumb
And then succumbed
To the scrumptious aftertaste
Oh the memory of that pasty will go with me to the grave
The train pulled out and Christine didn’t even wave
