A Bakers Tale

[Intro] Em

[Verse 1]
Em                      G      D
Once there was a humble baker, 
                    C
spent all day making buns and cakes
    Am                  D         
And rolls and loaves of bread and 
muffins, and he loved his work but 
           Em
it wasn’t enough.
                          G     D 
He longed to offer up his heart, 
                   C
to not just any tart
    Am                      D     
But one of substance and of 
virtue, but suitable candidates were
 Em
 oh so few.


[Chorus]
Em                                 D
Nigel Blackwell pray please to tell

How could your parents risk it?
Bm
Baker’s son born of a bun
 (NC)              Em
Half a man, half a biscuit.

[Verse 2]
Em                       G        
Gently took her from the oven, the
 D                     C
 sweet scents sent off waves of 
loving
    Am              D             
His eyes beheld her flaky crust, 
                            Em
he thought “I mustn’t. But I must”.
                             G   
Alas Nigel’s dad could not resist 
         D                  C
her, he held her close and then he 
kissed her
  Am                    D           
 (NC)              Em
Before another word was uttered, his
 momma’s buns were buttered.


[Chorus]
    Em                             
Oh, Nigel Blackwell pray please to 
    D
tell

How could your parents risk it?
Bm
Baker’s son born of a bun
 (NC)              Em
Half a man, half a biscuit.


[Verse 3]
    Em                          
And so please mark this poignant 
 G          D                  C
tale, next time you see baked goods 
for sale
      Am                 D  
Which proves true love defies 
convention; leads to couplings we 
        Em
can’t mention.
                     G     D      
So it comes as no surprise, maybe 
        C
baker’s dough did rise
        Am                D         
                         (NC)       
       Em
Though some men scoff to ride and 
scorn, from such forbidden love……. 
Nigel was born.


[Chorus]
Em                                 D
Nigel Blackwell pray please to tell

How could your parents risk it?
Bm
Baker’s son born of a bun

Half a man, half a man
                   Em       Em
Half a man, half a biscuit.
