Dunno, never taken it out of the box, the mixer is fantastic but the 'Spiralizer' was just a free gift with it.

All:
A gentleman's got a walking stick.
A seaman's got a gaff.
And the merry men of Robin Hood
They used a quarterstaff.
On the Spanish plains inside their canes
They hide their ruddy swords.
But we make do with an old bam-boo
And everyone applauds!
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - Hey!
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoot
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
Chorus:
When punting on the beautiful Thames
Caractacus:
You use a sturdy pole.
Chorus:
To protect their fair complexion
Caractacus:
Ladies use a parasol.
Chorus:
It's useful in the underbrush
Caractacus:
To have a hefty spear.
Chorus:
Right!
All:
But what we do with an old bam-boo
Makes everybody cheer!
1 - 2 - 3 - HO!
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo
You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo
'Ave a go, mate . . .
Caractacus:
A flyer in an air-e-o-plane
Chorus:
He steers it with a stick
Caractacus:
He does?
Caractacus:
A collier in the pits o' Wales
Chorus:
He leans upon his pick
Caractacus:
That's right!
All:
Now every wheel of an automobile
Revolves around a shaft (HEY!)
But what we do with an old bam-boo
Makes every one go daft.
And 1 - 2
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
(Dance break)
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - HEY!
And a 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - and a 5 and a 6 and a 7 HO!
Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo
You'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
You can have me hat or me bum-ber-shoo
But you'd better never bother with me ol' bam-boo.
You'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo.

We drove 1000km to Italy, walked out into the vinyards and still managed to attract the local drunk to our picnic table....
Harmless though....but very shouty!
You live and learn.

We call them bumbershoots here too, but I hear it more on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
