Cecil Pavlova
Teminite Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A long time ago in a city
Not far from the place you are now
There was an epidemic and someone of curse sweeping the land
There was an abundance of cakes and pies
From the far reaches of the earth
That would bring wonder and amazement
To the soul of any man who witnessed it
But there was one final thing that was missing
Until one day, a young boy by the name of Cecil Pavlova
Invented something
So delicious, so scrumptious, so bursting with yellow flavor
That it changed the face of pie forever

Everybody come on custard

Give me back my custard

Give me back my custard

Give me back my custard

A young boy by the name of Cecil Pavlova invented something

That it changed the face of pie forever

Give me back my custard

Give me back my custard

Give me back my custard





Give me back my custard

Even 6 years of not listening to dubstep wasn't enough to make me forget Cecil Pavlova.
