He did an album called "Strictly for grownups"(I think)

A snippet from one of the numbers goes...

When I was a boy scout and you were a brownie
We leaned all the regulations, of which there were lots
We went to the woods and we practiced them over
You did your semaphore while I did my knots.

There was another one called "Love isn't what it used to be" Which contains the classic line "Just grab a handful and damn the finesse"

Yes we certainly need a reissue.
