Subject: RE: Lyr Req: She Sits Among the Cabbages and Peas
I used to sing this song with the new mexborough concertina quartet, there was another line about she sits among the cabbage and leeks,this isit writen by lesley sarony

We're a happy family; I'd like you all to know.
We live with Uncle Joe
In a little bungalow.
It has got a garden and it keeps him on the go.
When a friend says, "Where's your uncle?" we just answer, "Oh,
He's mucking about the garden, always on the go."
Seeds begin to show.
Weeds begin to grow.
Mucking about the garden, dear old Uncle Joe
Works for hours
Among the flowers
And then begins to grow
Everything is lovely-uvely everywhere, everywhere.
Morning noon and night he's on the go.
Oh!
Mucking about the garden, dear old Uncle Joe
Sings, "Ripe tomatoes, apples or plums,"
Watching his onion grow.

(Musical Break)

On useful garden hints and knowledge
I will now expound
Always plant rice pudding seeds
A mile beneath the ground
Go and get your toasting fork
You find there's lots of jobs on
And don't forget that water cress
Are radishes with knobs on
And there's one thing more
I'd lie to say while on this tack
If your rhubarb's far too forward
Simply bend it back
