And read it every day and night,
Then study every dish, from mutton down to fish
And learn to make it tempting to the sight;
Be careful with your dough, and roll it very slow,
O, have it just the proper size.
Have an eye upon your spice; oh, cook it brown and nice,
And then you’ll carry off the winning prize.
You get a little flour, a lemon very tart,
A handful of raisins with a clove,
You put it in a bag, or any other rag.
