Lyrics The Marrow Song (Oh! What A Beauty) - The Wurzels

The Marrow Song (Oh! What A Beauty)

There’s a man lives down in the street I’d like you all to know
He grew a great big marrow for the local farmer’s show
When the story got around, they came from far and wide
When they saw the size of it, all the ladies cried
Oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
Oh, what a beauty, It must be two foot long or even more
Such a lovely colour, so nice and round and fat
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that
Oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
He was leaning on his garden gate the other day
He beckoned to a lady who lived just across the way
He took her down the garden path and showed her it with pride
When she saw the size of it that little lady cried
Oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
Oh, what a beauty, It must be two foot long or even more
Such a lovely colour, so nice and round and fat
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that
Oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
Then the feller showed it again and everybody went
To see his great big marrow lying there inside the tent
Then the judges came around to give the prizes out
They only took one look at it, and they began to shout
Oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
Oh, what a beauty, It must be two foot long or even more
Such a lovely colour, so nice and round and fat
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that
Oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
Everybody oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
Oh, what a beauty, It must be two foot long or even more
Such a lovely colour, so nice and round and fat
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that
Oh, what a beauty, I’ve never seen one as big as that before
I’ve never seen one as big as that before
I’ve never seen one as big as that before
