the market gardener - the wurzels lyrics

[intro]
i am a market gardener
i grow all sorts of things
great big ripe tomatoes
and lovely curly greens
i met a fair young maiden
and took her home to tea
i walked her round the garden
and this she said to me

[verse 1]
oh, i like your aspidistra
i think it’s very nice
i showed her my forget-me-not
she let me kiss her twice
i grabbed her by the geraniums
she yelled out with delight
“i’d like to take a sample of your celery home tonight
oh, your celery home tonight
your celery home tonight
i’d like to take a sample of your celery home tonight!”

[verse 2]
we went into the outhouse
to see her blooms come out
and that she knew her onions
i soon was left no doubt
but when she grabbed me radishes
she yelled out with delight
“i’d like to take a sample of your cuc-mber tonight
oh, your cuc-mber tonight
your cuc-mber tonight
i’d like to take a sample of your cuc-mber tonight!”

[verse 3]
she said she liked me parsnips
me turnips were a treat
but when i wasn’t looking
she grabbed me sugar beet
but when she felt me gooseberries
so hairy and so light
she said, “if you can spare me one i’ll take it home tonight
oh, i’ll take it home tonight
i’ll take it home tonight.”
she said, “if you can spare me one i’ll take it home tonight!”

[verse 4]
she said she liked me rhubarb
so nice and long and red
and then she thought me walnuts
were more her taste instead
but when she saw me lupin
so upright, bold and bright
she said, “i think i’ll have that one in me flowerpot tonight
oh, me flowerpot tonight
me flowerpot tonight
she said, “i think i’ll have that one in me flowerpot tonight

[bridge]
but now we’re going steady
i keep her ground well-tilled
i find i’m never short of time
to keep her furrow filled
but when she sees a garden
she remembers with delight
the time she took a sample of me celery home that night
oh, me celery home that night
your celery home that night
the time she took a sample of me celery home that night
oh, me celery home that night (whoo)
your celery home that night (whoo-hoo)
the time she took a sample of me celery home that night
