Bikkies a la Caitrin by derrymacash
(To the tune of "The Rocky Road to Dublin")

derrymacash's Comments:  NB for those living outside of Ireland and the UK, "cookies" are known in these quarters as biscuits (bikkies).   Cigarettes are referred to as fags.   Camp is a weird coffee/chicory syrup which can be used to make beverages which taste something like coffee.


Says Pat me to me one day "Michael would you risk it?"
"Risk what" I replied "The baking of a biscuit"
"Where are the instructions?" He fumbled in his jacket
Caitrin's Cookie Dough on the back of a fag packet
Searched the oul foodstore, got all of the makings
Except for the Kahlua - an easy boy for faking
A bottle or two of Camp and a jug of Mayo poitín
And we set out to make bikkies a la Caitrin

CHORUS:
1-2-3-4-5
Beat and stir the batter
The finest biscuits known
To man are a Mudcatter's
Whack-fol-lal-de-da

"There's a helluva lot to beat" Says Mick "No fear, I'll fix 'er"
And siphons off the batter to a cement-mixer
Made a lot of noise but saved a lot of labour
Left us more inclined to appreciate the flavour
Then onto baking sheets Mick poured out the mixture
With the sweet scent of poit�n the air was shortly thick, sir
So ravenous was I, hardly fit for waiting
Thinking of the time, those bikkies I'd be eating

CHORUS

When the bikkies cooled, Mick says "Shall we try one?"
"Try away" says I, reaching out for my one
An epiphany, what a revelation
Mick and I had made a culinary sensation
Every bite a joy, every nibble better
Than the one before, ecstasy unfettered
Lord how we indulged, bikkie after bikkie
Till the batch was done and feeling slightly sicky

CHORUS
