Brucie, thanks for taking my jibes in the intended spirit :-) But wait a minute! What's with the "Boots" thing?
Pete Betts, you brought back some horrible, horrible memories. I immediately heard that "Buddy Holly Tribute" tune in my head. It wasn't Jim Dale, it was Mike Berry (1963) - written by G. Goddard.
What a wonderful thing this world wide web is - within only two searches I turned up the immortal (if sparse) lyrics.

Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah-yea-yea-yeaaah-yeah
Snow was snowing, wind was blowing
When the world said, goodbye Buddy
Still I know that up in heaven
Is where we'll hear him sing again

Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yea-yeaaah
We'll always remember Buddy Holly

[Spoken]
Buddy Holly was killed in a plane crash, in 1959
But his songs will always be remembered, always

Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yea-yeaaah
We'll always remember Buddy...

Snow was snowing, wind was blowing
When the world said, goodbye Buddy
Still I know that up in heaven
Is where we'll hear him sing again

Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yea-yeaaah
Wow-oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah-yeah, yeah-yea-yeaaah
