The Wonderful Paignton Pudding

In August Eighteen Fifty Nine
They extended the Torbay railway line
And a very old custom was revived
In a special broadsheet it was described

One hundred and ninety one pounds of bread
Just think of all those mouths to be fed
Five hundred and seventy pounds of flour
The weight of it all increasing each hour

In August Eighteen Fifty Nine
They extended the Torbay railway line
And a Paignton pudding was displayed
In the form of a pyramid it was made

Sugar, nutmegs, suet and lemons
Just look at the size of it good heavens
Five hundred and seventy pounds of flour
The crowds to see it increasing each hour

Such an occasion please don't be late
For this event we cannot wait
On the first of August you must attend
And a fine procession we will send

In August Eighteen Fifty Nine
They extended the Torbay railway line
And a very old custom was revived
In a special broadsheet it was described

One hundred and ninety one pounds of bread
Just think of all those mouths to be fed
Five hundred and seventy pounds of flour
The weight of it all increasing each hour
The weight of it all increasing each hour
