"Yes my darling daughter" was a hit in the war, I believe. There's a bit of ilm of happy munitions workers filling shells or whatever while Listening to "Workers' Playtime" and joining in the tag line. I bet Roger the Skiffler is old enough to remember it -- Roger? There was a "No my darling daughter" too, as sung by Dad instead of Mum; the outcome was the same in the end. It's like "No John no" and suchlike, so it's probably based on something traditional.
