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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:59] The Bunch of Grapes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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