Mc Vities Jamaican Ginger Grower

[Tim Dixon]

The 1970's TV advert for McVities Ginger Nuts used to feature a Jamaican ginger grower singing a calypso tribute to the biscuit. I really want to know all the words to the song he used to sing.

As far as I recall it started like this:

I'm a Jamaican ginger grower
And I'm very proud to say
That I grow the finest ginger
In the world today

It finished up something like this:

McVities come and try it
Pick it all and buy it

....

Maybe someone else can remember the rest?

..then they bake it in their Ginger Nuts, you really ought to try it 

(or something very similar)

Found it...

I'm a Jamacian ginger grower
And I'm very proud to say
I grow the finest ginger
In the world today
I picks the best and packs it
Mcvities comes to buy it
Then they bake it into ginger nuts
You really ought to try it
You snap into a McVities ginger nut
You tastes it too
Jamacain ginger
The worlds best is waiting for you
I knows it . . .  I grows it
