Saddly missed. But heres part of a song of his that always makes me smile. (some words may be inaccurate)

40 yr old housewife Mrs Elizabeth Walk of lambeth Walk
Had a husband who was jublified with only half a stalk
So she took a milk of magnesea and curry powder sandwich,
half a pound of uncut pork
with an overdose of OMO
this made the neighbours talk

REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL

Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed
Why don't you get back into bed

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

1 2 3

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox

Reasons to be cheerful part 3

Health service glasses
Gigolos and brasses
round or skinny bottoms

Take your mum to paris
lighting up the chalice
wee willy harris

Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
Harpo, Groucho, Chico

Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motorsickle
Slap and tickle
Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
balabalabala and Volare

Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
Being in my nuddy
Saying hokey-dokey, singalonga Smokey
Coming out of chokey

John Coltrane's soprano, Adi Celentano
Bonar Colleano

I had a love affair with Nina
In the back of a Cortina
A seasoned up hyena
Couldn't of been more obscener

Busmans' Prayer.

Our Father who art in Hendon
Harrow be thy name
Thy Kingston come
Thy Wimbledon
In Erith as it is in Hendon
Give us this day our Berkhampstead
And forgive us our Westminsters
As we forgive those who Westminster against us
Lead us not into Temple Station
And deliver us from Ealing
For thine is the Kingston
The Purley and the Crawley
For Iver and Iver

As a Billericay Dicky myself (and doing rather well...), I'm a big fan.

Had the privilege of seeing the blockheads live - top notch stuff.

Single bachelor with little dog,
Terrence Green of Turnham Green,
Said whose a clever boy then girl
yes you know whome I mean.
Cos the mogrel laid a cable in the sand pit of the playground in the park where they had been.
And with a bit of tissue,
he wiped its bumhole clean

Blockheads indeed!

With the womanly breasts and their thermal vests!
Shoes like dead pigs noses!

Gone but not forgotten, did u see the Stiff tour stuff recently on BBC3 I think - magic. Ian Dury & Elvis Costello before he went all C&W - magic!

Rembrandt did some eyeball pleasers,
Must've been a pencil squeezer,
Didn't do the Mona Lisa,
That was an Italian geezer.

Home improvement expert Harold Hill of Harrow hill,
Of Do-it-yourself dexterity and double glazing skill,
Came home to find another gentleman's kippers in the grill,
So he sanded off his winkle
With his Black and Decker drill.

Dave C you're a star. Even after listening to RTBC a million times over the years, I still never deciphered some of the lyrics. Now thanks to you, they're taped to the office wall!

One of my favourites: Sweet Gene Vincent:-

blue gene baby

skinny white sailor, the chances were slender
the beauties were breif
shall I mourn you decline with some thunderbird wine
and a black hankercheif?
I miss your sad Virginia whisper
I miss the voice that called my heart

sweet gene vincent
young and old and gone
sweet gene vincent

who, who, who slapped john?

white face, black shirt
white socks, black shoes
black hair, white strat
bled white, died black

sweet gene vincent
let the blue roll tonight
at the sock hop ball in the union hall
where the bop is there delight

here come duck-tailed Danny dragging Uncanny Annie
she's tehone with the flying feet
you can break the peace daddy sickle grease
the beat is reet complete
and you jump back honey in the dungerees
tight sweater and a ponny tail
will you guess her age when she comes back stage?
the hoodlems bite thier nails

black gloves, white frost
black crepe, white lead
white sheet, black knight
jet black, dead white

sweet gene vincent
there's one in every town
and the devil drives 'till the hurse arrives
and you lay that pistol down

sweet gene vincent
there's nowhere left to hide
with lazy skin and ash-tray eyes
a perforated pride

so farewell mademoiselle, knicker-bocker hotel
farewell to money owed
but when your leg still hurts and you need more shirts
you got to get back on the road
