My dear Dad has just passed away. I am sorting out the funeral service, and I just have to include this. He was 92, God bless him, and we would sing this together. He loved it !!

[@tiga4180]

So sorry to hear of your loss. Hope this record brings some comfort.

[@helenmcknight9205]

@@tiga4180 Thank you.

My Grandad would sing this after he had walked me home from school every week. He passed just last night. Thank you for bringing back good memories.

[@tiga4180]

So sorry to hear that, but pleased to bring back treasured memories.

[@meldaplenty2361]

Reminds me of car trips with my dad, mum, aunty and 6 children. We always sang this when we arrived home.

[@tiga4180]

Glad to bring back a happy memory for you! Leslie Sarony stayed at the hotel where my mother worked. I was able to meet him at the stage door of Hull's New Theatre whilst he was appearing in a pantomime there. This was back in the mid 1960's. We had a nice chat about music hall & he gave me a signed photo.

[@tiga4180]

Sure is!

[@watt66]

Fantastic. Thank you for putting this up. Could you tell me is there a version that starts with the line….Pack up your beach pyjamas and save them til Christmas?

[@tiga4180]

Sorry, not heard one, but wouldn't put it past Leslie Sarony to write lyrics like that!

I grew up knowing Alma cogans version but this one's good too

[@tiga4180]

Leslie Sarony belongs to much earlier times, but continued to appear on stage well into old age. I was lucky to meet him back in 1967, when he kindly gave me a signed photo. I remember Alma Cogan from my childhood too.

@@tiga4180 my childhood was in the 2000s, alma was on every Christmas CD I had growing up as well as many other singers from the same era Now I have most of those recordings on 45s. & 78s. Thanks for sharing

[@tiga4180]

@@LifeOfJimbo So good that you are collecting 45's & 78's, its always great to know of newcomers to this hobby, who will preserve these vintage recordings. May I recommend this channel: kzbin.info He does your kind of stuff & older recordings too. My friend Paul Reeve of also posts some great 1950's recordings on KZbin, often played on vintage equipment.

Jolly good record ! Nice gramophone, trademark ?

[@tiga4180]

+August Wickman Glad you enjoyed. I had the pleasure of meeting the singer of this song in 1967. He was in a pantomime at a theatre in Hull. We had a good talk about old songs & he gave me a signed photograph. The gramophone is an Electrola 101. Its larger sized soundbox gives it a great sound, especially on early electrical recordings.

+Paul Harrison interesting to hear Paul !
