Thank you Jon for that link, It is good to find another Percy French fan here. Now, do you have the lyrics for "Are You Right There Michael, Are You Right?"

Mathew....Enter Percy French in the "DT and Forum Search" and you'll see he's been talked about a lot.

And aside from some wonderful music-hall type songs, French wrote a magnificent set of parodies of various poets' styles, setting out "Little Boy Blue" as written by Browning, Kipling, etc... Worth looking for!

Thanks Snuffy, and 'Spaw - I'm always amazed by what treasures turn up in a DT and Forum search - I should have looked there first. We used to have an LP at home of Percy French songs - I'll have to dig it out next time I visit the Aged P's, as there were other good songs which haven't been mentioned. I remember reading on the sleevenotes that he wrote "Ballyjamesduff" (Come Back Paddy Reilly) in one day in a contest with another writer when challenged to produce a song about a place with a really improbable name like Ballyjamesduff !
