Who used to sing this?!

I was cooking and had a flashback to primary school days...

Who else used to sing this as school?

Knipples · 26-04-2010, 21:36

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!"

You always had to whisper the line about the broad beans!

Hahaha yeeeessss!!! Oh my god! I was trying to sing this to James & my sister the other day and they thought I was crazy (an easy mistake to make)!

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.
