Little Pudden Basin-Gracie Fields

[ti:Little Pudden Basin] [ar:Gracie Fields] [al:Gracie Fields] [offset:0] [00:00.50]Little Pudden Basin - Gracie Fields [00:05.42]Old Auntie Flo was wealthy [00:07.06]Cause she'd always practiced thrift, [00:09.25]And when she died, [00:10.44]She left her relatives a little gift. [00:13.06]Our cousin Joe, her favorite, [00:15.27]Had one all to himself. [00:17.59]'Twas the little pudding basin [00:19.96]That stood on the kitchen shelf. [00:22.92] [00:24.09]Oh, the little pudding basin [00:26.73]That belonged to Auntie Flo [00:29.37]Is very much admired, [00:31.04]For it's quite a curio. [00:34.05]When he's asked for a reference, [00:36.33]Well, all he has to show [00:38.74]Is the little pudding basin [00:43.18]That belonged to Auntie Flo. [00:45.52] [00:46.23]The day he married Ermintrude, [00:48.57]It was a swell affair. [00:50.45]The Boy Scouts came in dozens; [00:52.69]The police were also there. [00:54.24] [00:54.95]They didn't have a cake, [00:56.58]But on the table was displayed [00:59.13]A steak-and-kidney pudding [01:01.64]That this Ermintrude had made [01:05.10] [01:05.78]In the little pudding basin [01:08.68]That belonged to Auntie Flo. [01:11.30]We had our photos taken [01:13.25]As we stood there in a row. [01:15.27] [01:15.87]We ran short of confetti [01:18.12]And they'd nothing else to throw, [01:20.74]So we threw the pudding basin [01:24.96]That belonged to Auntie Flo. [01:27.82]They thought they'd go to Paris [01:29.98]For a quiet honeymoon, [01:31.35] [01:31.98]For no one is surprised there [01:33.93]When they see young couples spoon. [01:36.42]They got aboard the steamer [01:37.94]In a happy frame of mind, [01:40.05]When Ermintrude said, "Stop that boat! [01:42.46]I've left something behind!" [01:44.21] [01:45.27]It's the little pudding basin [01:47.79]That belonged to Auntie Flo. [01:50.62]The boat began to rock [01:52.16]And all the sailors said, "Heave ho!" [01:54.55] [01:55.29]Then Ermintrude cried, "Steward!" [01:58.28]And he came up from below [02:01.19]With the little pudding basin [02:05.77]That belonged to Auntie Flo. [02:08.15] [02:08.93]They've settled down at Brixton, [02:10.60]But a flat was hard to find. [02:12.98]At last they got a bedroom parlour kitchen all combined. [02:17.01]They bought some lovely furniture, [02:19.55]Gave two pounds for the lot, [02:22.16]And standing on the dresser [02:24.20]Is the nicest thing they've got. [02:27.10] [02:28.47]It's the little pudding basin [02:31.42]That belonged to Auntie Flo. [02:34.46]They've ev'rything for comfort there, [02:36.62]Or very nearly so. [02:38.11] [02:39.20]They haven't got a bathroom, [02:41.12]But they don't mind that, you know, [02:43.25] [02:44.10]For they use the pudding basin [02:49.66]That belonged to Auntie Flo. [02:55.02]
