The whole of Harry Champion's original recording is available at

And quite splendid it is. Thanks for drawing it to my attention.

"Bread and Marmalade" was recorded by the outstanding duo "Cosmotheka" on the album "Cosmotheka" on Dambuster Records (DAM008) if you can track it down - the record is a bit rare though. Sorry, haven't got the time to do a transcription for you at the moment. I'll keep you in mind. If you don't get any joy on this thread, watch for a future posting.

For info. there is also an outstanding site for music hall monologues (an essential part of the genre) at http://www.monologues.co.uk/ .
