Ode to the Bacup Borough Fc Pie

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 There’s a pie that’s backed in Bacup
With a pedigree so rare
Blessed with rich ingredients
And made with love and care
Its recipe is secret
And no soul would dare reveal
But so succulent the pastry
Wrapped in sauce and mushy peas!

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 It comes hot out the oven
And would melt a snowman’s heart
Rises up from earthen Irwell
Like a meaty Northern star
Forget Great British Bake Off
And give MasterChef the push
This pie of Bacup Boro
Is the lushest of the lush!

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Packed tight with rustic charm
It beats the stuffing out of tripe
And East Lancs black pudding derbies
Are poor second to this pie
It basks in Bacup sunshine
Into its crust the pilgrims bite
Brent Peters feeds this manna
To the boys in black and white!

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 So give thanks to Debs O’Connor
Skilled creator of this dish
Chomp the pie and cheer the Boro
From the café near the pitch
Forget the gravy wrestling
For a slice of Bacup life
Let your taste-buds be seduced
Forza Pie that’s loved by Sky!
