Little Pudden Basin - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]
Old Auntie Flo was wealthy[00:00:05]
Cause she'd always practiced thrift,[00:00:07]
And when she died,[00:00:09]
She left her relatives a little gift.[00:00:10]
Our cousin Joe, her favorite,[00:00:13]
Had one all to himself.[00:00:15]
'Twas the little pudding basin[00:00:17]
That stood on the kitchen shelf.[00:00:19]
Oh, the little pudding basin[00:00:24]
That belonged to Auntie Flo[00:00:26]
Is very much admired,[00:00:29]
For it's quite a curio.[00:00:31]
When he's asked for a reference,[00:00:34]
Well, all he has to show[00:00:36]
Is the little pudding basin[00:00:38]
That belonged to Auntie Flo.[00:00:43]
The day he married Ermintrude,[00:00:46]
It was a swell affair.[00:00:48]
The Boy Scouts came in dozens;[00:00:50]
The police were also there.[00:00:52]
They didn't have a cake,[00:00:54]
But on the table was displayed[00:00:56]
A steak-and-kidney pudding[00:00:59]
That this Ermintrude had made[00:01:01]
In the little pudding basin[00:01:05]
That belonged to Auntie Flo.[00:01:08]
We had our photos taken[00:01:11]
As we stood there in a row.[00:01:13]
We ran short of confetti[00:01:15]
And they'd nothing else to throw,[00:01:18]
So we threw the pudding basin[00:01:20]
That belonged to Auntie Flo.[00:01:24]
They thought they'd go to Paris[00:01:27]
For a quiet honeymoon,[00:01:29]
For no one is surprised there[00:01:31]
When they see young couples spoon.[00:01:33]
They got aboard the steamer[00:01:36]
In a happy frame of mind,[00:01:37]
When Ermintrude said, "Stop that boat![00:01:40]
I've left something behind!"[00:01:42]
It's the little pudding basin[00:01:45]
That belonged to Auntie Flo.[00:01:47]
The boat began to rock[00:01:50]
And all the sailors said, "Heave ho!"[00:01:52]
Then Ermintrude cried, "Steward!"[00:01:55]
And he came up from below[00:01:58]
With the little pudding basin[00:02:01]
That belonged to Auntie Flo.[00:02:05]
They've settled down at Brixton,[00:02:08]
But a flat was hard to find.[00:02:10]
At last they got a bedroom parlour kitchen all combined.[00:02:12]
They bought some lovely furniture,[00:02:17]
Gave two pounds for the lot,[00:02:19]
And standing on the dresser[00:02:22]
Is the nicest thing they've got.[00:02:24]
It's the little pudding basin[00:02:28]
That belonged to Auntie Flo.[00:02:31]
They've ev'rything for comfort there,[00:02:34]
Or very nearly so.[00:02:36]
They haven't got a bathroom,[00:02:39]
But they don't mind that, you know,[00:02:41]
For they use the pudding basin[00:02:44]
That belonged to Auntie Flo.[00:02:49]
