WHEEZY ANNA
(Leslie Sarony)
Leslie Sarony (with the Henry Hall Orchestra)
There’s a girl, a great big girl, and all who’ve ever seen her
They know that every time she breathes she’s like a concertina
When she was young she bought a small mouth-organ for a tanner
She swallowed it and ever since they call her Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow
(And they’ve got big pips in)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know
Who’s got eyes that are the best? - Wheezy Anna
One looks east and the other looks west - Wheezy Anna
Who’s got eyes as black as night? – Wheezy Anna
With the left one blacker than the right – Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow
(Melons wet your ears so)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know
Who’s got teeth that are so bright? – Wheezy Anna
Like the stars, come out at night – Wheezy Anna
Who’s conceited – boy, and how? Wheezy Anna
When it thunders, takes a bow – Wheezy Anna
Who’s the fattest girl in town – Wheezy Anna
Who’s the female Teddy Brown – Wheezy Anna
When she tries to phone, they say - Wheezy Anna
Always presses Button ‘A’ – Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Anna, Wheezy Anna, Anna – down where the watermelons grow
(All the flies came off them)
Wheezy Anna, Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know
Who’s tattooed upon her back? – Wheezy Anna
Stars and Stripes and Union Jack – Wheezy Anna
Snakes and things upon her vest – Wheezy Anna
Close your eyes and guess the rest – Wheezy Anna
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, down where the watermelons grow
(Like a great big football)
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, she’s the grandest girl I know
