Lyrics
Up before the sun Boxes on my back Apples, beans and bread Stack them on the stack Stall number nine, stall number nine Open up the awning, the morning is fine Stall number nine, stall number nine Come on down and dance, the fruit is divine Tomatoes in a row Red and round and bright Farmer in his boots Whistling in the light Stall number nine, stall number nine Open up the awning, the morning is fine Stall number nine, stall number nine Come on down and dance, the fruit is divine Weigh it up, wrap it up Hey, hey, hey Pay it up, pack it up Hey, hey, hey Basket on my arm Dancing down the lane Sell the last of the plums Then we start again Stall number nine, stall number nine Open up the awning, the morning is fine Stall number nine, stall number nine Come on down and dance, the fruit is divine Stall number nine Hey, hey, hey Stall number nine
