‘Now, ladies and gentleman, a story about a very large vegetable. Thank you.’
Down the road there lives a man I’d like you all to know.
He grew a great big marrow for the local flower show.
And when the story got around they came from far and wide.
‘I say.’
When the people saw the marrow everybody cried.

CHORUS
Oooh, what a beauty.
Never seen one as big as that before!
‘Gracious!’
Oooh, what a beauty.
It must be two foot long or even more
‘I say!’
It’s such a lovely colour, all nice and round and fat.
‘Oooh.’
I never knew a marrow could grow as big as that!
Oooh, what a beauty,
Never seen one as big as that before.
‘I doubt it.’

He was leaning on the garden gate the other day
And beckoned to a lady who lived just across the way
He took her up the garden path and showed to her his prize
And when she saw the size of it the little lady sighed

CHORUS
Oooh, what a beauty.
She’d never seen one as big as that before.
Oooh, what a beauty.
It must be two foot long or even more.
‘She’s full of the joys of spring.’
It’s such a lovely colour all nice and round and fat.
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that.
Oooh, what a beauty.
Never seen one as big as that before.
‘She means the marrow!’

And then the flower show was held and everybody went.
To see the great big marrow lying there inside the tent.
‘How did they get it in?’
Soon the judges came around to give the prizes out.
They only took one look at it and they began to shout.

CHORUS
Oooh, what a beauty.
We’ve never seen one as big as that before.
‘I say.’
Oooh what a beauty.
It must be two foot long or even more.
Oooh, It’s such a lovely colour all nice and round and fat.
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that.
Oooh, what a beauty.
Never seen one as big as that before.
Never seen one as big as that before.
