Some liberties may have been taken with spelling/pronunciation!

1 Which song (sung by Bernard Cribbins) was apparently about moving a piano?
2 Which relatives of the swift (or swallow) build their roost on domestic dwellings?
3 What forms are necessary for some Eastern theatre forms, and for silhouettes?
