The Great British Bake Off Musical - Prologue Lyrics


The song is written by Pippa Cleary and Jake Brunger.

Aaah, aaah

COMPANY:
In the beginning
There was flour, butter,
And milk and free range eggs
And golden caster sugar
(Sugar, sugar, sugar)
But they were separate entities
For they had not been mixed together

JIM:
'Til man said to woman thus:

KIM:
I think you'll find woman said to man
What if we put it in the oven?

JIM: (spoken)
Huh? Man make fire, not oven

KIM:
Babe, you've gotta build me an oven

COMPANY:
So man built a pit of fire
Full of cinders and earth and clay
And woman took a mixing bowl
And put it in without delay

And man said;

JIM:
Look, it's rising!

COMPANY:
And woman said;

KIM:
Heavens above, I think it's rising!

JIM & KIM:
What the hell is happening
Why is it rising?

COMPANY:
(Aaah)
Then a miracle happened that day
(Aaah)
For out of the maggots and clay
Emerged this fluffy
Moist creation that was light

KIM:
It's so light

JIM:
Give us a bite

KIM:
Spongy!

JIM:
(Gasps) Soft!

KIM:
Gooey!

JIM:
And sweet!

KIM:
Oh Dennis, what have we done?

COMPANY:
The two were so afraid

JIM:
I'm scared, Susan

COMPANY:
What was this thing they made?

KIM:
This could change the world!

COMPANY:
A terrible mistake!

JIM:
But what shall we call it?

COMPANY:
Cake!

KIM:
(Spoken) blimey, that was a bit intense

JIM: (spoken)
Yeah, that polyester really chafes

JIM & KIM:
Welcome to the Great British Bake Off!

Somewhere In The Dough
