You Can Always Tell A Jaffa By Its Juice.

Seq-Dr.J.Pitt-Payne.Kar-Bunty Pritchard Jones.July 2000.

I asked a country maiden sweet,
Swinging on an orange tree,
To tell to me the secret of her popularity,

The country maiden made reply,
"Taste my magic wine, nectar divine,
Oh, quench your lips on mine."

For you can always tell its Christmas,
if the goose is getting fat,

You can always tell the postman,
by his rat~tat~tat~tat~tat,

You can always tell the milkman,
by the mewing of the cat,

And you can always
tell a Jaffa by its Juice.

You can always tell a monkey,
by the mischief in his eyes,

You can always tell its winter
by the absence of the flies,

You can always tell it's five a.m.
when baby wakes and cries.

And You can always
tell a Jaffa by its juice.

It's sweet! so good to eat!
It's a treat for ev'ryone!

In cold or Summer's heat,
It's Public Hero Number One.

You can never tell what Gladstone said,
in eighteen eighty three,

You can never tell which oyster
has a pearl for you or me,

You can never tell what Nero played
when Rome burned furiously.

But You can always
tell a Jaffa by its juice.

For you can always tell a Welshman
by the way he wants to sing,

You can always tell the Irish
by the way they love to fling,

You can always tell a Scotsman
by the way the "baw~bees" cling,

and You can always
tell a Jaffa by its juice.

You can always tell its Summer~time
when we put back the clocks.

You can always tell a golfer
by the colour of his socks,

You can always tell a burglar
by the way he picks the locks.

And You can always
tell a Jaffa by its juice.

It's sweet! and good to eat!
It's a treat for you and me.

A treat, and hard to beat,
the darling of the family.

You can never tell
how many wives King Solomon did wed,

You can never tell
how many times the door~nail has been dead,

You can never tell
how many tears the crocodile has shed.

But You can always
tell a Jaffa by its juice!

written and composed
by
Nesta Williams
Referred to on the score sheet as
The 100 Pounds Sterling Prize Song
I have never heard this song before
but it clearly extols the virtues of Vitamin C
in a merry mix of history
imagery and a touch of juice!
