The Biggest Aspidistra In The World - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]
Written by:Connor/Harper/Haines[00:00:02]
For years we had an aspidistra in a flower pot[00:00:08]
On the what not near the at stand in the all[00:00:12]
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[00:00:19]
So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree[00:00:24]
And he's planted it against the garden wall[00:00:28]
It shot up like a rocket 'til it nearly touched the sky[00:00:32]
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:36]
We couldn't see the top of it it got so bloomin' high[00:00:41]
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:00:45]
When father's had a skin full at his pub the bunch of grapes[00:00:50]
He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes[00:00:54]
You'll find him in his bear skin playing Tarzan of the Apes[00:00:58]
Up 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[00:01:13]
The roots stuff up the drains grow along the country lanes[00:01:18]
And they came up half a mile outside the town[00:01:22]
Once we hired the crystal palace for an hot house[00:01:26]
But a jealous rival went and burnt it down[00:01:30]
The tom-cats and the Moggies love to spend their evenings out[00:01:37]
Up the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:41]
They all begin meowing when the buds begin to sprout[00:01:47]
Up the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:01:51]
The dogs line up for miles and miles a funny sight to see[00:01:56]
They sniff around for hours on end 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]
It's getting worn and weiry and its leaves are turning grey[00:02:18]
It's the oldest aspidistra in the world[00:02:23]
So we water it with half a pint of Guinness every day[00:02:28]
It's the stoutest aspidistra in the world[00:02:33]
The borough council told us that we've got to chop it down[00:02:38]
It interferes with Aeroplanes that fly above the town[00:02:43]
So we sold it to a wood yard for a lousy half a crown[00:02:48]
It's the biggest aspidistra in the world[00:02:54]
A biggest biggest biggest aspidistra[00:03:02]
