Original London Cast of The Great British Bake Off Musical
Prologue
Aaah, aaah

[Company]
In the beginning
There was flour, butter, and milk and free range eggs
And golden caster sugar (sugar, sugar, sugar)
But they were separate entities
For they had not been mixed together

[Jim]
'Til man said to woman thus:

[Kim]
I think you'll find woman said to man
What if we put it in the oven?

[Jim]
(spoken) Huh? Man make fire, not oven

[Kim]
Babe, you've gotta build me an oven

[Company]
So man built a pit of fire
Full of cinders and earth and clay
And woman took a mixing bowl
And put it in without delay
And man said;

[Jim]
Look, it's rising!

[Company]
And woman said;

[Kim]
Heavens above, I think it's rising!

[Jim and Kim]
What the hell is happening, why is it rising?

[Company]
(Aaah)
Then a miracle happened that day
(Aaah)
For out of the maggots and clay
Emerged this fluffy, moist creation that was light

[Kim]
It's so light

[Jim]
Give us a bite
[Kim]
Spongy!

[Jim]
(Gasps) Soft!

[Kim]
Gooey!

[Jim]
And sweet!

[Kim]
Oh Dennis, what have we done?

[Company]
The two were so afraid

[Jim]
I'm scared, Susan

[Company]
What was this thing they made?

[Kim]
This could change the world!
[Company]
A terrible mistake!

[Jim]
But what shall we call it?

[Company]
Cake!

[Kim]
(Spoken) blimey, that was a bit intense

[Jim]
(Spoken) yeah, that polyester really chafes

[Jim and Kim]
Welcome to the Great British Bake Off!
