The song "Who will Buy" is directly (note from note) Vaughn Williams opera "Hugh the Drover" ... "who will but my sweet primroses". It is also set in a London Street market. As in Oliver, the flower seller is joined by other traders - creating a brilliant chorus.

I think that song is one of the entries of the day. So probably just a mispost.

Correct - I had the pleasure of singing this piece in the chorus (when I was much younger) of Vaughan Williams "Hugh The Drover" with the Leicester Youth Choir.

Does anyone remember a brilliant Smith & Jones parody of this song, just after Canary Wharf tower opened and no-one would shell out for the exorbitant office space?
"Who will buy....this bloody great building"
I seem to be the only one who does.
