Apparently its from the lyrics of a song called Whispering Grass and the term 'grass' was also used by Windsor Davies (Who sang the song) in the sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum.
From Wikipedia
quote:
• "Whispering Grass" is a 1975 UK number-one single by Windsor Davies and Don Estelle. Davies and Estelle were actors in the successful sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum. It was number one in the British singles chart for three weeks from June 1st 1975.[1]
The record is a comic version of the song which was originally recorded by The Ink Spots in 1940, and was sung in character.
The song has also been recorded by Sandy Denny in 1973 and appears on her album Like an Old Fashioned Waltz."
Or, as Yoshy would say;
I'm not a spear chucker but Whispering Grass is a 1975 UK number-one single by Windsor Davies and Don Estelle. Davies and Estelle were actors in the successful sitcom It Ain't Half Hot Mum. It was number one in the British singles chart for three weeks from June 1st 1975.
