part truth mostly fiction

lyrics

It was the schools summer fete and the weather was wet
Granny made cheese for a stall
She milked her auld goat used the recipe wrote
in the hand of Mrs McCall
The cheese she'd donate for her Grandaughter Kate
To help the school build a new hall
She wrapped it up nice and packed it in ice
She felt like the bell of the ball

My Granny's great, you'd never know she was eighty five
My Granny's great, she's so busy and so full of life

The weather turned fine they had a nice time
The cheese sold like e's in the park
So sad to say at the end of the day
The tale turns so very dark
The whole Toon was shocked and the residents rocked
When neighbours were sickly and died
It was the talk of the Toon brought the Journalists roon
The question that they asked was why?

Next the Police, then came the FSA
We know the Police, but who is this FSA?

Meantime the goat ate grass it never was asked
To make cheese for the new school hall
It just donnered aboot snipping grass at the root
Not a care in it's world at all
Then came the men from the FSA wiping teats and milking away
Not like Granny in her pinnie but with white coats
In a very studious way

My Granny's great, I've been a lucky goat all my life
My Granny's great, so busy and so full of life

The headlines read that poor folks were dead
And others were seriously ill
It was a cheese that they ate sold at a school fete
Made by a goat named Bill

Poor Granny's aged, you'd swear she was a hundred and five
Poor Bill was caged, she'll be lucky if she makes it alive

In a matter of time the headlines declined
And the story began to subside
Granny killed the goat with a knife at it's throat
Now everything's alright

You can't have a goat
That makes cheese that takes peoples lives

The death of the goat
Made everything alright
