"Come down to Kew in lilac-time" The British Contralto Carmen Hill-Peel:

Lyrics: 
Come down to Kew in lilac-time, in lilac-time, in lilac-time;
Come down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London!)
And you shall wander hand in hand with love in summer's wonderland;
Come down to Kew in lilac-time (it isn't far from London!)
