The Biggest Aspidistra in the World - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]

For years we had an aspidistra 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 'til one day our brother Joe[00:00:18]

Had a notion that he'd make it strong and tall[00:00:22]

So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree[00:00:26]

And he's planted it against the garden wall[00:00:30]

It shot up like a rocket 'til it's nearly reached the sky[00:00:33]

It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:38]

We couldn't see the top of it it got so bloomin' high[00:00:42]

It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:46]

When father's had a snoot full at his pub 'The Bunch of Grapes'[00:00:50]

He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes[00:00:56]

No you'll find him in his bear-skin playing Tarzan of the apes[00:00:59]

Off the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:04]

We have to get it watered by the local fire brigade[00:01:10]

So they put the water rates up half a crown[00:01:15]

The roots stuff up the drains grow along the country lanes[00:01:19]

And they came up half a mile outside the town[00:01:22]

Once we hired an auditorium for a hot house[00:01:26]

But a jealous rival went and burnt it down[00:01:31]

The tom cats and their sweethearts love to spend their evenings out[00:01:37]

Up the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:42]

They all begin meowing when the buds begin to sprout[00:01:47]

From the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:51]

The dogs all come around for miles a lovely sight to see[00:01:56]

They sniff around for hours and hours and wag their tails with glee[00:02:01]

So I've had to put a notice up to say it's not a tree[00:02:06]

It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:02:12]
