The Raspberry Song ((aka Everything Is Fresh Today (Jack Hodges)) Composer(s): Milligan Performer(s): The Goons
(Moriarty) Oh, oh! Let me out -- my only crime is eating
(Secombe) Don't worry -- I'll give the screws a song The warden won't mind
(Bloodnok) No -- he's doing bird as well Maestro
(Moriarty) Take your partners for the ball and chain one step One, two, three
(Bloodnok) May I have this dance warden, you can hold my ball
(Secombe) In a little prison where I'm locked in there is a most pecular fellow His name is Eccles and he's is in cell nine But his voice is soft and mellow He keeps a fruit cart in his cell, and all the convicts knows it He doesn't sing or rave about his fruit -- he simply blows it
(Bloodnok) He's doing it all night long
(Secombe) It's better than any song No, it isn't very pretty, but you've got to admit it's cute
(Bloodnok) Never, never
(Secombe) So all together let it go -- eat more fruit!
(Bloodnok) Don't tell me he's come to stay
(Secombe) Let the wardens hear him say Fruit's in season! Let's be merry! Apples, plums and the old raspberry Everything is fresh today
(Bloodnok) Don't let him get near me, please!
(Secombe) Every Friday night when work is done He does not wastes a minute To the prison warden he hurries 'round where he sings just like a linnet To hear him blow a melody its great, you can't deny it And if you've nothing else to do, we'd like the screws to try it
(Bloodnok) No more, please!
(Secombe) Get ready and do it now
(Eccles) The crazy man, you know how
(Bloodnok) God knows it isn't very pretty
(Secombe) You've got to admit it's cute
(Bloodnok) Well...
(Secombe) All together let it go -- eat more fruit
(Bloodnok) There isn't a cure they say!
(Secombe) Let the screws all hear him say
(Eccles) Don't eat farm laid [wow!]
(Secombe) Every thing is fresh today
(Bluebottle) Hello everybody, remember me, Bluebottle? I'm fourteen now and I have got boils... Though I don't look very pretty, I'm wearing my new brown suit The only trouble with it is when I go outside I'm struck by fruit
(Bloodnok) Don't point him at him I say
(Secombe) It's a treat to hear him play Fruit's in season, plums and berries Apples, pears and the old raspberry
(All) Everything is fresh to day
(Bloodnok) Someone open a window, please!
