It’s Tuesday March 4th - what do you have to say

I say ‘Pancake, flapjack, crepe suzette okay’,

The kids are all right - what’s for tea tonight

Pancakes by the dozen – hip hip hurray,

Get into that kitchen and get out your pan

Don’t protest and don’t ask why,

Crack some eggs and sieve some flour

Because daddy is a very hungry guy,

Toss those pancakes high in the air

Flip them over just for a dare,

Give me a big banana split down the middle

Smothered in blueberries and whipped cream,

Shake; shake my sugar, yes you can

Squeeze my lemon - oh what a dream,

Maple syrup flowing like a stream

It’s Shrove Tuesday and I’m in pancake heaven

I’m lost for words and don’t know what to say,

You have just gone and made my day.
