A Welsh verse[2] sung by children refers to crempog:
- Modryb Elin Enog
- Os gwelwch chi'n dda ga i grempog?
- Cew chithau de a siwgr brown
- A phwdin lond eich ffedog
- Modryb Elin Enog
- Mae 'ngheg i'n grimp am grempog
- Mae Mam rhy dlawd i brynu blawd
- A Sian yn rhy ddiog i nol y triog
- A 'nhad yn rhy wael i weithio
- Os gwelwch chi'n dda ga i grempog
In English:
- Auntie Elin Enog
- Please may I have a pancake?
- You can have tea and brown sugar
- And your apron full of pudding
- Auntie Elin Enog
- My mouth is parched for pancakes
- My mum is too poor to buy flour
- And Sian is too lazy to get the treacle
- And my father's too sick to work
- Please may I have a pancake?
