Some people have been asking for the lyrics for this song so I thought I'd make it available here. I also want to thank everyone contributing to the overwhelming positive response for putting such a trini pastime back in focus and for not being too big to join in the fun as we had plenty fun making both the song and the video.
Face out.

LYRICS
Chorus
Cheese pie and pack juice
Cheese pie and pack juice
Is hunger with hard times
Thank God for cheap food
(x2)
Eat up your pie,
Drink up your juice,
Eat up your fish, beef, soya or aloo
Cheese pie and pack juice
Cheese pie and pack juice
Is hunger, hard times
Thank God for cheap food

Chorus
[Mega]
With a cheese pie and a pack juice I have five dollars to spare,
let me think,
should I buy another cheese pie or maybe something bigger to drink?
Caribbean Cool or Minute Maid?
Forget dat yes gimme a next cheese pie,
Hmmm now ah under pressure, I didn't know dat man cheese pie so dry,
because I ask de pieman how the cheese is and he say it good,
so ah took ah bite and watch him and say if dat good I misunderstood,
the pieman pie so hard just get a cork ball and we could play some cricket,
want an official game? buy six more put dem in de ground we have two wickets,
that pieman wicked I gone yes, I going down by South Quay,
done which part de cheese pie not so hard and plus it cheesy,
so ah reach down and ah say lemme get one nah boss he tell me seven dollars,
ah thought ah saw ah sign,
so ah look up in the sky to see if it was changing colours,
the same time ah look up, ah see the moon and say "Houston, one to go",
the pieman still ha belly to ask if ah still want one so ah tell him no,
ah feel ah could go back and eat some dry dry and get cranky,
or better yet forget that nonsense pull de hook dey Wanke
Chorus
