V1
Eliza and Mary, the Biddenden maids
Were born many centuries past
And though joined at the hip
Made the most of their days
And the kindness they started would last
V2
Eliza and Mary, the Biddenden twins
Just thirty-four years when they died
But the land they bequeathed
To the place they were in
Would be used to help people survive
Chorus
The Bread and Cheese Lands
Or so they were called
Helped furnish the needy
With food and with drink
The Bread and Cheese Lands
Would go down in history
A tale of the twins in indelible ink
Bridge
And if it’s a myth, well nobody cares
For the tea and the cheese and the bread
Are a boon to the widowed, the old, and the poor
And to this very day
A Biddenden cake is a part of the lore
Chorus
The Bread and Cheese Lands
Or so they were called
Helped furnish the needy
With food and with drink
The Bread and Cheese Lands
Would go down in history
A tale of the twins in indelible ink
