Velda is a legend! She is one of the heart
and soul’s from Hackney Wick and has kindly agreed to bring her very own
produce to the ‘Wick Curiosity Shop’…HER VOICE!
From spending time with Velda it is clear
she likes a party and sing a long when she was invited to sing at Wick
Curiosity Shop it was not too hard to persuade her!
She will sing a couple of old timer
classics that are close to her heart, music she listened to as young lass out
and about in the Wick.
Velda will introduce the music quiz with a
tune.
The Mobile Porch is getting dressed for the occasion.
First a thin layer of paper, then a layer of paint (yet to come).
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts…
Down at an english fair one evening I was there
When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitchRoll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts (they’re lovely)
There they are all standing in a row (one, two, three, four)
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head (and bigger)
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That’s what the showman said
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch (all together now)
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Roll a bowl a ball, roll a bowl a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch
Just a small section of the Pudding Mill River factory in Hackney.
