A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat
A finger of fudge is just enough until it's time to eat
It's full of Cadbury goodness, but very small and neat...

Pick up a tin of beans and say
Beans means Heinz."

"Someone's mum just doesn't know
What someone's mum really ought to know.

And that means cleaner!"

With ????? Camay."
