《Little Pudden Basin》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Pudden Basin - Gracie Fields

[00:00:05] Old Auntie Flo was wealthy

[00:00:07] Cause she'd always practiced thrift,

[00:00:09] And when she died,

[00:00:10] She left her relatives a little gift.

[00:00:13] Our cousin Joe, her favorite,

[00:00:15] Had one all to himself.

[00:00:17] 'Twas the little pudding basin

[00:00:19] That stood on the kitchen shelf.

[00:00:24] Oh, the little pudding basin

[00:00:26] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:00:29] Is very much admired,

[00:00:31] For it's quite a curio.

[00:00:34] When he's asked for a reference,

[00:00:36] Well, all he has to show

[00:00:38] Is the little pudding basin

[00:00:43] That belonged to Auntie Flo.

[00:00:46] The day he married Ermintrude,

[00:00:48] It was a swell affair.

[00:00:50] The Boy Scouts came in dozens;

[00:00:52] The police were also there.

[00:00:54] They didn't have a cake,

[00:00:56] But on the table was displayed

[00:00:59] A steak-and-kidney pudding

[00:01:01] That this Ermintrude had made

[00:01:05] In the little pudding basin

[00:01:08] That belonged to Auntie Flo.

[00:01:11] We had our photos taken

[00:01:13] As we stood there in a row.

[00:01:15] We ran short of confetti

[00:01:18] And they'd nothing else to throw,

[00:01:20] So we threw the pudding basin

[00:01:24] That belonged to Auntie Flo.

[00:01:27] They thought they'd go to Paris

[00:01:29] For a quiet honeymoon,

[00:01:31] For no one is surprised there

[00:01:33] When they see young couples spoon.

[00:01:36] They got aboard the steamer

[00:01:37] In a happy frame of mind,

[00:01:40] When Ermintrude said, "Stop that boat!

[00:01:42] I've left something behind!"

[00:01:45] It's the little pudding basin

[00:01:47] That belonged to Auntie Flo.

[00:01:50] The boat began to rock

[00:01:52] And all the sailors said, "Heave ho!"

[00:01:55] Then Ermintrude cried, "Steward!"

[00:01:58] And he came up from below

[00:02:01] With the little pudding basin

[00:02:05] That belonged to Auntie Flo.

[00:02:08] They've settled down at Brixton,

[00:02:10] But a flat was hard to find.

[00:02:12] At last they got a bedroom parlour kitchen all combined.

[00:02:17] They bought some lovely furniture,

[00:02:19] Gave two pounds for the lot,

[00:02:22] And standing on the dresser

[00:02:24] Is the nicest thing they've got.

[00:02:28] It's the little pudding basin

[00:02:31] That belonged to Auntie Flo.

[00:02:34] They've ev'rything for comfort there,

[00:02:36] Or very nearly so.

[00:02:39] They haven't got a bathroom,

[00:02:41] But they don't mind that, you know,

[00:02:44] For they use the pudding basin

[00:02:49] That belonged to Auntie Flo.
