Does anyone else out there know this song? It's been on my mind all day........
Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green,
Strawberries sweeter than any I’ve seen
Beetroot purple and onions white,
All grow steadily day and night
The apples are ripe, the plums are red,
Broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed
Blackberries juicy and rhubarb sour,
Marrows that are fattening hour by hour.
Gooseberries hairy and lettuces fat
Radishes round and runner beans flat
The apples are ripe, the plums are red,
Broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed
Orangey carrots and turnips cream,
Reddening tomatoes that used to be green,
Brown potatoes in little heaps,
Down in the darkness where the celery sleeps
The apples are ripe, the plums are red,
Broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed
Moving and knitting...
