I remember singing a harvest song in primary school in which the chorus ended, "The plums are red, broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed." What are the rest of the words to this song?

Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green, strawberries sweeter than any I've seen, beetroot purple and onions white, all grow steadily day and night. (Chorus: The apples are ripe, the plums are red, broad beans are sleeping in a blankety bed) Blackberries juicy and rhubarb sour, marrows fattening hour by hour, gooseberries hairy and lettuces fat, radishes round and runner beans flat. (Chorus) Orangey carrots and turnips cream, reddening tomatoes that used to be green, brown potatoes in little heaps down in the darkness where the celery sleeps. (Chorus) I love that song. Jaunty, jolly tune and lovely descriptive words. It's a song called Autumn Paintbox, and I'll be singing it for the rest of the day now. Jul 30 04, 6:38 AM
