Wheww....

The thing's that happen at Mudcat when you're offline for a couple of days. Much-Catch-Up to be done. Most of my non-Kiwi-specific song suggestions were shot down in the first few posts.

Tom - your "Kiss Me Goodnight Sergeant Major" reference must be to the Martin Page book of 1973 - I've dug out my 1975 Panther virgin - and will have to get the scanner going to salvage it - the pages are as brown as Tatton Park recruits under-dungers.....;)

Anyway, "fem-fox" (Vixen) you'll find the lyrics for many WWII "pop" songs at Hit songs from 30-90s.

NZ had a bit of a hit with "Now is the Hour" Bing Crosby had his last "Top of the Pops" with it in 1949.

Best version I can find is on Jenny George's pages at Haere Ra

Best I can do from "down-udder"
