WHEEZY ANNA
Words and music Leslie Sarony, ©1933.
As sung by Leslie Sarony

There's a girl, a great big girl, and all who've ever seen her
They know that every time she breathes, she's like a concertina.
When she was young she bought a small mouth-organ for a tanner.
She swallowed it and ever since they call her Wheezy Anna.

Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow.
(And they've got big pips in.)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she's the grandest girl I know.

Who's got eyes that are the best? Wheezy Anna.
One looks east and the other looks west. Wheezy Anna.
Who's got eyes as black as night? Wheezy Anna.
With the left one blacker than the right. Wheezy Anna.

Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow.
(Melons wet your ears so.)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she's the grandest girl I know.

Who's got teeth that are so bright? Wheezy Anna.
Like the stars, come out at night. Wheezy Anna.
Who's conceited, boy, and how? Wheezy Anna.
When it thunders, takes a bow. Wheezy Anna.

Wheezy Anna (Anna), Wheezy Anna (Anna), down where the watermelons grow.
(Which the blinds all skate on.)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she's the grandest girl I know.

Who's the fattest girl in town? Wheezy Anna.
Who's the female Teddy Brown? Wheezy Anna.
When she tries to phone, they say, Wheezy Anna.
Always presses Button 'A', Wheezy Anna.

Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow.
(Like a great big push-ball.)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she's the grandest girl I know.

AN EXTRA VERSE FOUND ONLINE (BUT NOT IN THIS RECORDING:)

Who's tattooed upon her back? Wheezy Anna.
Stars and Stripes and Union Jack. Wheezy Anna.
Snakes and things upon her vest. Wheezy Anna.
Close your eyes and guess the rest. Wheezy Anna.
