I Clubbed a Haggis to Death

Haggis (Scottish Gaelic: taigeis) is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now often in an artificial casing instead. According to the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique: "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour".

It’s the 25th of January
You know what time it is!
To celebrate the Bard
We serve up a feast
Wi’ NEEPS and tatties
And we cook up the Beast
Hello maither do ye know where Jimmie is!?

Savory pudding
Let’s get ingredients
Menacing looks
At sheep over there

Shear the woolly
Make a sweater
Next stop
Is the butcher shop yeahhhhh

I clubbed
I clubbed a
I clubbed a haggis to death

At the cauldron
Let’s make the magic happen
Heart, liver, lungs
One big onion

Suet spices
Salt and stock
Are gonna make
This haggis rock

I clubbed
I clubbed a
I clubbed a haggis to death

Something smells
Real good
Double boiler
Tantalize

Smells like
The haggis is ready
We have a peek
And to our surprise

The haggis jumped oot
The haggis is loose
It’s up n’ runnin’
All over the hoose
I don’t know whit ta dae
Glass of whisky
And then maybe we’ll go and chase
That wee beastie

I clubbed
I clubbed a
I clubbed a haggis to death!

I didnae mean tae dae it… it’s just how things happened…
