The Biggest Aspidistra In The World - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]
Written by:Tessie Shea[00:00:03]
For years we had an aspidistra[00:00:07]
In a flower pot[00:00:11]
On the whatnot near the 'atstand in the 'all[00:00:14]
It didn't seem to grow[00:00:18]
'Til one day our brother Joe[00:00:20]
Had a notion that he'd make it strong and tall[00:00:23]
So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree[00:00:27]
And he's planted it against the garden wall[00:00:32]
It shot up[00:00:37]
Like a rocket[00:00:38]
'Til it's nearly reached the sky[00:00:39]
It's the[00:00:42]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:43]
We couldn't see the top of it[00:00:47]
It got so bloomin' high[00:00:49]
It's the[00:00:51]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:52]
When father's had a snoot full at his pub[00:00:56]
The bunch of grapes[00:00:59]
He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes[00:01:02]
No you'll find him in his bear skin playing tarzan of the[00:01:06]
Apes[00:01:10]
Of the[00:01:11]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:12]
The tom cats and their muggage love to[00:01:17]
Spend their evenings out[00:01:19]
Up the[00:01:21]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:22]
They all begin meowing[00:01:26]
When the buds begin to sprout[00:01:28]
From the[00:01:30]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:31]
The dogs all come around for miles[00:01:35]
A lovely sight to see[00:01:38]
They sniff around for hours and hours and wag[00:01:40]
Their tails with glee[00:01:43]
So I've had to put a notice up to say[00:01:45]
It's not a tree[00:01:48]
It's the[00:01:49]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:50]
The brothers and the army[00:01:55]
Is in the home defense[00:01:58]
With the[00:02:00]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:02:01]
The coronel said that stopping now will stop[00:02:05]
The big advance[00:02:08]
With the[00:02:09]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:02:10]
When going sees it from afar you said with his own crowd[00:02:14]
Young Joe has got his blood dock[00:02:19]
All will soon be over now[00:02:22]
But there going to splinter head lift from the very highest spout[00:02:24]
Of the[00:02:29]
Biggest aspidistra in the world[00:02:29]
