I learned these songs at my fathers' knee.... we were too poor to afford paper so he wrote them on his knee.

I learned 'When this bloody war is over' and a jolly little ditty entitled 'The Guinea Pig Song'..

How can you tell when a guinea pig is pleased
if he ain't got a tail to wag.
All other animals you will find,
have got a little tail stuck on behind.
If they'd only put a tail on a guinea pig
and finished off a decent job,
the price of the animal would then go up,
from a guinea up to thirty bob!

He told us he won a prize for singing, the prize was a gobstopper.
