Everything Is Fresh Today ((aka The Raspberry Song (The Goons))
Composer(s): Gunn
Performer(s): Jack Hodges



In a little town where I belong
There's a most accomplished fellow
He's the leader of the village choir
And his voice is warm and mellow

He drives a fruit cart around the street
And everybody knows it
He doesn't sing or rave about his fruit
He simply blows it

He's doing it all day long
It's better than any song
Though it isn't very pretty
You've got to admit it's cute
So, all together, let it go
Eat more fruit

It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, fruit's in season, plenty berries
Apples, plums and the old raspberries
Everything is fresh today

Every friday night when work is done
He never wastes a minute
To the village hall he hurries 'round
Where he sings just like a linnet

To hear him blow a melody
It's great, you can't deny it
And if you've nothing else to do
I'd like you all to try it

Get ready and do it now
It's easy when you know how
Though it isn't very pretty
You've got to admit it's cute
So, all together, let it go
Eat more fruit

It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, do-te-la-so-fa-me-re-do
Everything is fresh today

It's certainly come to stay
It's a treat to hear him say
Hey, fruit's in season, plenty berries
Apples, plums and the old raspberries
Everything is fresh today
