lyrics

Gotta be decisive. Gotta be one thing or another
There’s gotta be no misunderstanding, it’s an answer yet to be discovered
One of lifes great mysteries like who built Stonehenge or the Pyramids
I’ve got a question for the ages – just who calls a Jaffa Cake a biscuit?
Cause if you do, I’m not sure I’ve got time for you, cause it seems an unquestionable truth
The Jaffa is a cake, it says it in the name
It’s open and shut, case closed simple and plain
But if it was just that it’d be an easy win
Except people keep putting them in a biscuit tin
There’d be no more need for people to debate
So tell me is the humble Jaffa truly a cake?

Is it a biscuit or a cake?
Is it a cake or a biscuit?
Whereabouts should it be kept?
Oh Jaffa Cake tell me where you fit?
Is it a cake or a biscuit?
Is it a biscuit or a cake?
So why’s it on the biscuit shelf then?
Easy – it’s been put there by mistake.

Yes the Jaffa, it’s a National Icon
But I always get the feeling that its categorised wrong
Choccy on top, and orange in the middle
But a cake or a biscuit? Its still a riddle
The spongey base is the crux of the matter
Like Alice’s tea party to the Mad Hatter
It’s a question that’s awkward and tricky
Just what makes the Jaffa Cake a biccy?
Cause anyone who thinks that has been duped
You’re daft, an idiot, your brain’s been fooled
It’s a mystery for Sherlock or Scooby Doo
Pick a side to fight you’ve got a point to prove
You realise the base is spongey and soft
Except when they’re abandoned and about to go off
“It’s a cake I tell you, it’s squidgey like a cake!”
Until it passes it’s best before date

Is it a biscuit or a cake?
Is it a cake or a biscuit?
You might say that you don’t care
But for some it’s important, I don’t want to risk it
Is it a cake or a biscuit?
Is it a biscuit or a cake?
It’s got to be the softer option
Cause if I dunk it, it’s likely to break

It’s a great big quandry, with a filling so orangey
It’s a decision that we all have to make
Is it a biscuit? Or do you consider it to be a cake?
