A Yooper Pastie

A Yooper Pastie

Give me a Yooper Pastie

Good tasting, so it's not nasty

With rutabagas, potatoes, and good meat

Enjoyment for my stomach, with every bite I eat

With a crust that tastes so great

Can't help but really appreciate

Right in my mouth, where it belongs

The taste buds singing the pastie songs

A little ketchup, right on top

Not too much, just a drop

Someone made these with their hands

So they would entice all my taste glands

A Yooper Pastie, Upper Michigan's treasure

A meal with good taste, a tongue's pleasure

Upper Peninsula, the Pastie place

Will bring a smile to your face

Take your fork, and try a bite

Your taste buds will dance in pastie delight

You ate yours up, mighty fasty

You'll need to order, another Yooper Pastie

Yoopers are people who live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Those below the Mackinac Bridge are called Trolls.

Pastie rhymes with nasty, but tastes so good.

It's a little meat pie that is made so good.
