Thread Name: Lyr Req: Songs about Big Feet
Subject: Lyr Add: DAISY ROOTS
Azizi: It's not just in America that there are songs about big feet!
We have an old music hall song called DAISY ROOTS on exactly this theme. No race overtones, but definitely sexist!

My wife and I could tell you why,
But I never get annoyed about her old glass eye.
Her long tongue, it really is a treat
But I've been worrying about her feet.

'Cos they're not feet; they're yards and yards,
With corns that grow SO high.
When she goes out, for to walk around about,
All the pretty little youngsters cry:

Daisy, oh, Daisy Roots,
Must be a big shop where you buy your boots!
Oh dear, dear, dear Daisy,
To carry 'em around you can't be lazy.

If we all had feet like hers,
This world would be too small.
They tick like clocks. They give you shocks.
It's no wonder that the people call.
