“The Basket of Onions”
Description
The singer engages in various activities (e.g. playing the ghost in "Hamlet"), but always thinks of the girl: "Oh, she loves another and it's no use to try, When oh, she sings out 'Sound onions, who'll buy?'"
Notes
Described as a music hall song, and I have no reason to doubt it. - RBW
