Sorry not to have looked in on this one earlier - it was me who wanted the lyrics of "Red Velvet Steering Wheel..." I think that nearly everything's been said already. I actually went and saw "Wait a Minim" and still have (a very warped) copy of the record. The Chastity Belt song was in the show, but Jeremy said he learnt it at college. A cut down version of W.A.M. was broadcast on BBC television and entitled "Time to Breve".

Many years ago I heard a radio programme in which the late John Betjemin read his favourite bits of poetry and "All around the south coast" was included.

Is he now living back in the UK permanently ? When I last saw him a couple of years ago he still had a place in South Africa, and told how he made person-to-person calls back to a friend in his village. The village telephonist recognising him, would then spend the next 20 minutes telling him all the local gossip and as his friend was not available anyway, he got it all for free.

Finally has anyone got the words of one song which has not been mentioned "The Belle of Barnstable" - definitely one of my favourites. All I can remember is bits, the local lord saying:

I'd forfeit all my titles if only she'd give in, She's paralyzed my vitals - I think I need a gin.

And the vicar:

Thy kingdom come thy will be done In heaven and below. Thy kingdom's in the second row, Oh please lord let me in.
