Thanks so much for this. You are correct as to date when this song was sung on the show, however, it was written in 1970. Sylvan x

[@sylvan28]

No I did!! Song was recorded by Eric and Ernie in 1970 and was aired in 1971. Thank you for credit. Sylvan

God's probably got them doing their Christmas show in heaven.

I love this (and Eric and Ernie), but can't help but notice the creepy undertone of the lyrics ;) haha

Music for this song was written by Roger Wolfe Kahn, lyric by Al Dubin. First recorded by Kahn on Victor records 11 January 1927. Chick Endor recorded a very nice version in London, August 1927 accompanied by Fred Elizalde on piano.

The wonderful Morcombe & Wise. Loved and still love them. Wonderful.

@Rhosmari Agreed! I video taped this show about 20 years ago and couldn't believe this little 'gem' at the end. Better than 'Bring Me Sunshine' but only just! It was nice to se it again over Xmas. I watched and listened to it so often originally, I wore the tape out. Isn't the 'Internet' marvelous? Eric always unwittingly steals the scene! Be seeing you...

The reason why we now have Vic Reeves..

@sylvan28 Duly added to the notes, thanks. Great song. Your website states 1972 - so did I make a mistake on the year?
