Artist: The Tremeloes
Composers: Peter Callander and Mitch Murray
Tabbed by DJ 22nd April 2024
To hear the original single version, copy and paste this link:
* Just after the first laughs, one of the band is doing an
impression of popular 1960’s TV variety show comedian
Freddie 'Parrotface' Davies, and then namechecks him.
"I say! Do you ever sing?", speaking with the exaggerated
'blowing-a-raspberry' sibilant lisp on the 'S's which was one of
his Samuel Tweet stage character's trademarks.
Some later compilation and greatest hits albums have an updated
re-recording, with different ad-libbing
D = xx0232 G = 355433 C = x32010 (D/A) = x00232
