Wheezy Anna
My Dad reminded me of another song he used to sing to me and my sister when we were young and it has been playing merrily in my head ever since. I searched on You Tube and what do you know, there it was! I am not sure about the video...but it sort of seems to go! And the belly dancing is very hypnotic! Enjoy!
Here are the complete lyrics: WHEEZY ANNA (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
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, Anna, Wheezy Anna, Anna – down where the watermelons grow
(All the flies came off them)
Wheezy Anna, Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know
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
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow
(Like a great big football)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know
Brilliant I did not think you would find that one.
ReplyDeleteFunny how they get in to one's head.
Well, my dad and mom used to call me Asthmeralda ... and now I'm rather large, do I qualify? (just teasin' ya) ... I sometimes wake myself up wheezing like a concertina, though, and sometimes I don't know if it's me or the cat wheezing.
ReplyDeleteLoved the belly dancing.
By the way, just found Maggie Bell again on You Tube! I had her first album in the early '70s. Do you know her and that she's touring this yr? I was thinking of her just the day before ... and her website is small but she had a pic of her with Long John Baldry, another one me and the husband just had wondered if he was alive!?
Didn't even know she was from Scotland. Loved Queen of the Night.
Bye bye now.

ReplyDeleteHey Bowledover! It's such a good ditty! You Tube really does have everything!
ReplyDeleteHey Kyle! I do not know of Maggie Bell, I will check her out and get back to you. I have been checking out nursery rhyme sites tonight looking for more stuff from when I was a kid and found some rather interesting sites for big kids, adult versions of some old classics! Very interesting, although I think I prefer my nursery rhymes in their original form!
