《Little Pudding Basin》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Pudding Basin - Gracie Fields

[00:00:05] Old Auntie Flo was wealthy

[00:00:07] Cause she'd always practiced thrift

[00:00:09] And when she died

[00:00:10] She left her relatives a little gift

[00:00:13] Our cousin Joe her favorite

[00:00:15] Had one all to himself

[00:00:17] 'Twas the little pudding basin

[00:00:19] That stood on the kitchen shelf

[00:00:24] Oh the little pudding basin

[00:00:26] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:00:29] Is very much admired

[00:00:31] For it's quite a curio

[00:00:34] When he's asked for a reference

[00:00:36] Well all he has to show

[00:00:38] Is the little pudding basin

[00:00:43] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:00:46] The day he married Ermintrude

[00:00:48] It was a swell affair

[00:00:50] The Boy Scouts came in dozens;

[00:00:52] The police were also there

[00:00:54] They didn't have a cake

[00:00:56] But on the table was displayed

[00:00:59] A steak-and-kidney pudding

[00:01:01] That this Ermintrude had made

[00:01:05] In the little pudding basin

[00:01:08] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:01:11] We had our photos taken

[00:01:13] As we stood there in a row

[00:01:15] We ran short of confetti

[00:01:18] And they'd nothing else to throw

[00:01:20] So we threw the pudding basin

[00:01:24] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:01:27] They thought they'd go to Paris

[00:01:29] For a quiet honeymoon

[00:01:32] For no one is surprised there

[00:01:33] When they see young couples spoon

[00:01:36] They got aboard the steamer

[00:01:37] In a happy frame of mind

[00:01:40] When Ermintrude said "Stop that boat

[00:01:42] I've left something behind "

[00:01:45] It's the little pudding basin

[00:01:47] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:01:50] The boat began to rock

[00:01:52] And all the sailors said "Heave ho "

[00:01:55] Then Ermintrude cried "Steward "

[00:01:58] And he came up from below

[00:02:01] With the little pudding basin

[00:02:05] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:02:08] They've settled down at Brixton

[00:02:10] But a flat was hard to find

[00:02:13] At last they got a bedroom parlour kitchen all combined

[00:02:17] They bought some lovely furniture

[00:02:19] Gave two pounds for the lot

[00:02:22] And standing on the dresser

[00:02:24] Is the nicest thing they've got

[00:02:28] It's the little pudding basin

[00:02:31] That belonged to Auntie Flo

[00:02:34] They've ev'rything for comfort there

[00:02:36] Or very nearly so

[00:02:39] They haven't got a bathroom

[00:02:41] But they don't mind that you know

[00:02:44] For they use the pudding basin

[00:02:49] That belonged to Auntie Flo
