Bermudez Biscuit Company jingle
On Sunday in the 1970's and1980's at lunchtime there used to be a show on the radio called Auntie Kay. It was a children’s show where recitations, singing and oration was encouraged. What was particularly striking about the show was the theme song. One of Auntie Kay's signature items was her eloquence in grammar, this always struck me as ironic because the theme song was filled with slang. I have tried to recall the words and know that I have muddle up some of Bermudez's range of products.

But the jest of the song is as follows:
Bermudez Biscuit Company, In the island of Trinidad ,is a haven to everybody and it make the children so glad. At home at school or vacation, Biscuits to suit the occasion.I know you bound to agree They bake biscuits with varietyTell them Bermudez does bake Mopsie Bermudez does bake DicksieVanilla Cookie ( I took years to understand what thegirl who sang this part was saying, it used to sound garbled and I thought it sounded like funny mapopie!) Make some Crix sandwich for me please O Yes Bermudez does bake???Bermudez does bake??? For the big and small You can't stop Bermudez at all Bermudez! - Adele
