Lovely. Thank you for making this.

[littleshoemaker]

grrrreat to hear Jessie on 78. I love SILKWORM too.

[Lkyda]

The lyrics look bland until she sings them

[Lkyda]

I remember sitting around the "wireless" listening to this as a kid,my Mum could not stop singing it.

What m'lady's wearing in June,

Must come from a little cocoon.

If it wasn't for the little silkworm,

We wouldn't have a thing to wear !

[IronicTables]

My name is Jessie Matthews! :D Xxx

[xwsftassell]

Wow, nice!

[Lkyda]

Fantastic woman anyone have the lyrics if The LITTLE SILK WORM?

[burnt62]

A brilliant song there. I have listened to it for ages and searched on the net so I may sing it to my little girl (at 9 months she likes my singing). Good luck with your search

[burnt62]

Spring was in the air and bells were ringing.

the little worm was now a butterfly.

[Lkyda]

Thanks a million now I can have my ex sing it on one of her shows.

Once there was a tiny ltlle silk worm, work so hard that he could hardly creep. Wrapped himself within a silken blanket; and peacefully he went to sleep.

Came a day when birds were gayly singing; sun was shining brightly in the sky

[Lkyda]

There's a part I cannot quite make out-

"Came another day, something happened ,while the butterfly was  someone took his silken blanket

Brought it to the factory,"

What's after that up to What m'lad's..?

I am as excited as a kid, I cannot find on google nor do lyrics seem to know JM

[burnt62]

Came another day and something happended,

While the butterfly was on a spree.

Someone came and took the silken blanket,

Brought it to the factory.

Busy fingers went to work and wove it.

In soft and silky satin fare.

What m'lady's wearing in June ...

Yes I have long thought that about this song, very Thirties and therefore VERY GOOD!

[twiddlybobby]

Wonderful! This is the 1930s in a nutshell. I wonder who the band was Jessie was singing with?

[mic33george]
