Dieu Et Ma Tarte

God save our gracious dish!
Long live our noble dish!
God save the dish!
Food for the peasants who'll
Taste of the pleasant rule
Crowning their grits and gruel:
Rah for the quiche!

In robes voluminous
And jewels luminous,
Anglico-numinous
Faiths may he guard!
God's royal recipe
For ruling family:
Vegetable tartery
And lots of lard.
