Description:
Music Hall!!! a marrow??? a very large zucchini!! no!! really!! i hope you have as much fun listening to it as i had singing it!!! they really don't write 'em like they used to!
and, thank you lee - again! xox
Lyrics:
Now down the road there lives a man I'd like you all to know,
He grew a big marrow for the local flower show
And when the story got around they came from far and wide,
And when then saw what he had grown, everybody cried.....
Ooooh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a marrow grow quite as big as that,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before.
He was leaning on the garden gate the other day,
And beckoned to a lady who lives just across the way,
He took her down the garden path and showed it to her with pride,
And when she saw the size of it, the little lady sighed..
Ooooh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a marrow grow quite as big as that,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before.
And then the flower show was held and everybody went,
To see this huge marrow, lying there inside the tent.
Soon the judges came along to give the prizes out,
And they only took one look at it and they began to shout,
OOOOOH! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a marrow grow quite as big as that,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before!

the flower show in particular ..on "it must be"
Cover? Curious as to who did the original ...

This ought to last all day... you choose hilarious material, and perform it
with such a plum, And Lee did wonderfully playing that bananaclava... my
only question is, if it was that big, wasn't it too heavy for you to carrot
over here? Do I hear a hint of dragon-growling mirth in *your* voice too?

You make a great great song out of simple things in life. You are really

Your voice goes into that story telling tone a lot here.

lmao - most peculiar! &mdash 05/03/06 - 03:54:14 AM
Caro (I told you I'd come back for a listen!), this is great. You have
such a brilliant music hall voice, and such a talent for picking excellent
songs (when will we put that blues up then?). My dad would have gone
crazy over this, but then again, so would most people with a grain of
humour left in their bones. I don't know how to say this Caro (he said
trying to maintain balance as he placed his foot firmly in his mouth),
but you are a "core value" of MJ, and one of the many people who make
this an excellent place to be.
Thanks,
Neil [ Reply to This ]

Vintage Caroline! From one actress to another, you really chewed some
scenery with this one -- and that's just how I likes it! Fantastic! You are
really coming into your own now. You're sounding much more relaxed
(and therefore able to really let go and just live for the performance
instead of worrying how your voice sounds). Perfect place to be to sing
a song like this. I love it! Laughter and loverly performance! [ Reply to This ]

very nice performance &mdash 05/05/06 - 10:36:12 AM
Since there wasn't any credit given, I did a little googling and found out
that this funny song was written in 1952 and the composer is Edrich
Siebert, and some biographical information can be found here: http://
www.rfsoc.org.uk/esiebert.shtml
Sorry if that seems like I'm trying to rain on your parade, I don't mean it
to be so but as a songwriter I just like to see credit given when credit is
due. For someone to work at creating music for his whole life and not to
get credit for his creations, well it just seems rather sad. Perhaps now Ed
will rest easier knowing that this excellent interpretation of his song is
now properly credited. [ Reply to This ]
very nice performance &mdash 05/05/06 - 10:48:18 AM
you did better than me - i couldn't find anything about it except that it had been recorded by the Wurzels and Tim Curry and i honestly thought it was an old music hall song as that's where i have heard it - *hangs head in shame*
i wasn't trying to take any credit - hmmm - should i take it down?
either way - i agree with you totally - thank you for setting me straight and giving Mr Edrich Siebert the acknowledgement he most certainly deserves.
