There's a man lives down in the street I'd like you all to know
|
He grew a great big marrow for the local farmers show
|
When the story got around, they came from far and wide
|
When they saw the size of it, all the ladies cried :
|
|
|
Chorus: Oh, what a beauty! I've never seen one as big as that before!
|
Oh, what a beauty! It must be two foot long or even more.
|
Such a lovely colour, so nice and round and fat;
|
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that.
|
Oh, what a beauty - I've never seen one as big as that before.
|
|
|
He was leaning on his garden gate the other day,
|
He beckoned to a lady who lived just across the way,
|
He took her down the garden path and showed her it with pride
|
When she saw the size of it that little lady cried :
|
|
|
Repeat Chorus
|
|
Then the feller showed it again and everybody went
|
To see his great big marrow lying there inside the tent.
|
Then the judges came around to give the prizes out
|
They only took one look at it, and they began to shout :
|
|
|
Repeat Chorus (twice)
|
