We've been watching the re-runs of Jeeves and Wooster on Sky, and the above song appears in at least two episodes. For some reason, we liked it, and wondered it if was a real composition, or something made up for the show.

To my delight, I found out that it was indeed written and composed by Leslie Sarony in the 1920s, and there's a copy of the dots on the National Library of Australia website. biggrin.gif Guess what I'll be learning next...

Somehow doesn't have the ring of "Ten green bottles". (I'm sure Barry would agree with that after his Welsh antics! tongue.gif )

I love jeeves and wooster.. I got the box set from Past Times a few years ago...

My favourite song is the Nagasaki one...
Hot ginger and dynamite
theres nothing but that at night
back in Nagasaki where the fellows chew tobacci
and the women wicky waccy woo.
