GUEST,Marksman Lyr Req: Valerie Wilkins: 'She is 6 and a quarter. (42) RE: Lyr Req: Valerie Wilkins: 'She is 6 and a quarter. 25 Dec 09


I remember this well from when I was a child, probably in the early 70s. Roaring Jelly had a show on TV and often performed these wonderful, silly songs. The lyric "Curses, curses, she wants to play at nurses and I want to play at war" has never left my memory. I'm also sure that the guy singing was dressed in an 'old style' school uniform (grey blazer, shorts & school cap). I also seem to recall that there was a key change around the middle and they shouted out 'Key Change!' and, for comedic effect, the singer reverted to the original key. I also recall the singer 'breaking down' and crying (again, just for the comedy) and the band stopping the song until he had 'recovered'. Great stuff, but that's all I can remember. How great it would be to see that again!
