Beach Biscuit Rodeo – Tacky Fish

Struttin down Tracadie just got home
Gonna meet the family eat steak bone
Ocean on my right left was the dunes
Suddenly appeared two rough looking dudes

Seemed official but something was funny
Their warden uniforms weren't on the money
Lead one said hey what a nice day
I said yo fellas must be on my way

Hang on slick he said not so fast
We need to see some ID and your Park Pass
I let out a sigh in my head I said great
Looks like the family barbeque is gonna wait

Beach Biscuit Rodeo what a royal shit show
A Beach Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day
It was a Beach Biscuit Rodeo what a royal shit show
A Beach Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day

He said fork it over I did as I was told
I gave him loose change bills and my phone
He said keep it coming because he had detected
One sandstone and two shells I had collected

But what fell out so precious to me
My grandma's handwritten sweet biscuit recipe
My grandma's handwritten sweet biscuit recipe
Now you might ask... I might ask
Now you might ask... I might ask
Why would I be carryin’ such an heirloom
Why would you be carryin’ such an heirloom
I keep my family heritage in my swimsuit

He said what's this he grabbed it in his fist
I said it ain't nothing just a dumb list
He said it looks like it means something to you
I might be able to make something of it for me too now

Beach Biscuit Rodeo what a royal shit show
A Beach Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day
It was a Beach Biscuit Rodeo what a royal shit show
A Beach Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day

What a sitch-iation
A beach interrogation
Here's how he questioned me
He read out the recipe

Udder juice what's that?
I said it's milk
Bake it with the butter in your mouth like silk
He said huh what's yellow cluck cluck?
Always use an egg from a chicken not a duck

He said okay he went back to the list
He said sugar check flour check what’s this
I can't even read it says laking roda
Laking roda?
Ya laking roda do you think I'm a dummy?
I said ohhh it’s baking soda my granny wrote funny

He crumpled up the recipe threw it at my feet
Said so long sucka in my head I said sweet

I finally arrived my family cheered
Hugs all around they handed me a beer and
They looked straight to me they said have you got it
I thrust it in the air and everyone applauded

Later on we made it added cream and berries
The family dug in and we all got merry

Beach Biscuit Rodeo what a royal shit show
A Beach Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day
It was a Beach Biscuit Rodeo what a royal shit show
A Beach Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day

Them cowboys thought they were the slickest
I got the recipe dat me the sickest
Them cowboys thought they were the slickest
I got the recipe I'm a sweet biscuit

Sweet Biscuit Rodeo oh de oh de oh de oh
Sweet Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day
We had a Sweet Biscuit Rodeo oh de oh de oh de oh
A Sweet Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day

We had a Sweet Biscuit Rodeo oh de oh de oh de oh
Sweet Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day
We had a Sweet Biscuit Rodeo oh de oh de oh de oh
A Sweet Biscuit Rodeo on Canada Day
