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

Written by：Harper,Haines,Connor[00:00:00]

For years we had an aspidistra in a flower pot[00:00:07]

On the whatnot near the stand in the all[00:00:11]

It didn't seem to grow til one day our brother Joe[00:00:16]

Had a notion that he'd make it strong and tall[00:00:20]

So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree[00:00:24]

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

It shot up like a rocket [00:00:35]

Til it's nearly reached the sky[00:00:38]

It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:40]

We couldn't see the top of it [00:00:46]

It got so blooming high[00:00:48]

It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:50]

When father's had a snoot full at his pub [00:00:55]

The Bunch of Grapes[00:00:59]

He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes[00:01:00]

No you'll find him in his bear-skin[00:01:05]

Playing Tarzan of the apes[00:01:08]

Off the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:10]

We have to get it watered by the local fire brigade[00:01:17]

So they put the water rates up half a crown[00:01:21]

The roots stuff up the drains [00:01:26]

Grow along the country lanes[00:01:28]

And they came up half a mile outside the town[00:01:30]

Once we hired an auditorium for a hot house[00:01:35]

But a jealous rival went and burnt it down[00:01:40]

The tom cats and their sweethearts love[00:01:46]

To spend their evenings out[00:01:49]

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

They all begin meowing when the buds begin to sprout[00:01:56]

From the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:02:01]

The dogs all come around for miles [00:02:06]

A lovely sight to see[00:02:09]

They sniff around for hours and hours[00:02:11]

And wag their tails with glee[00:02:14]

So I've had to put a notice up to say it's not a tree[00:02:17]

It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:02:21]
