Benjamin's Giant Onion - Stackridge
Is Benjamins overgrown onion plant
It's taken him years and gallons of tears
Producing an onion so grand
Some men sail across the ocean in a tug
Risk life and limb for no one
Some men bounce around in spacesuits on the moon
But Ben grows onions instead
Come rain or come shine he spends all his time
And energy nursing his pride and joy
The lady next door can't stand any more
It's driving her out of the neighbourhood
Now Ben's life is ruled by onions
What a shame
His clothes they reek of fertiliser
All his family are leaving
Fancy that
But Ben is blind to it all
Take care my friends the onion doesn't get you in the end
Take heed from Ben onions sent him right round the bend
Take care my friends the onion doesn't get you in the end
Be very very careful
Take heed from Ben onions sent him right round the bend
Benjamins' days are happy they say
His onions grow down on the funny farm Come rain or come shine he spends all his time
And energy nursing his pride and joy
Now he's lost in conversation with his friends
All alone in the greenhouse
And Doctors say Quite frankly he's insane
Just then the onions arose
