Me!!!!!

Is it wrong I can still remember nearly all the words, and I was doing the clap clap bit in my head

"The apples are ripe"
CLAP CLAP
"The plums are red"
CLAP CLAP
"The broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed!"

;D

I did too. Remember one of our teachers re-writing the words to it so that we could sing to a leaving dinner lady who'd served the school for something like 25 years.

Can't remember most of it (over 20 years ago now) but I do remember for the chorus:

Forget Clement Freud, you can keep all the rest, Our Mrs Freeman really is the best.

Without listening to the clip is this (here goes not heard this since I was 11)

Cauliflowers fluffy, and cabbages green
Strawberries sweeter than any I've seen
Beetroot purple and onions white
All grow steadily day and night

The apples are ripe
The plums are red
Broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed

We used to sing it every Friday in junior school.
