CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

CHEERING

Once again!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

-AUDIENCE:

-Good evening.

Oh, once again.

Good evening!

That's splendid.

Prognosticatorally,

primarily, pre-eminently resplendent,

the Players Theatre!

# Why do the boys run after the girls

# And why do the girls love boys?

# Why do they stroll down green, shady lanes

# While sharing each other's joys?

# Ever since Eve made poor old Adam grieve

# Together they're always found

# No matter the weather, you'll find them together

# Just as long as the world goes round

# Just as long as the world goes round. #

# And every evening I am seen

# Walking home with Angeline

# She's a girl I idolise

# And she has such gleaming eyes

# So I'm just as happy as I can be

# When I'm in her company

# Troubles while away

# And the world seems gay

# When I'm walking home with Angeline

# When I'm walking home with Angeline. #

# Keep off the grass

# Keep off the grass

# Conduct like this I won't pardon

# Lay at your ease

# But if you please

# Keep off the grass in the garden

# We will keep off the grass, dear

-# Keep off the grass

-Keep off the grass in the garden

# I beg your pardon

-# Lay at your ease

-Lay at your ease

-# But if you please

-But if you please

# Keep off the grass in the garden. #

# But every little while

# I feel so lonely

# Every little while

# I feel so blue

# I'm always dreaming

# I'm always scheming

# Because I want you

# And only you

# My darling

# Every little while

# Every little while

# My heart is aching

# My heart is aching

-# Every little while

-Every little while

# I miss your smile

# I miss your smile

# And all the time I seem to miss you

# I want to, want to kiss you

# Every, every Every little while

# Darling, every, every

# Every little while. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Their hats are almost as orchidaceous as yours, aren't they?

I promise you you will have the Players once again later on

in the programme, but now...

hilarious harbinger of cantillatory,

Caledonian cajolery

and concomitant conviviality!

-AUDIENCE:

-Oooh!

Scottish fun.

Welcome to Miss Janet Brown.

APPLAUSE

Oh!

Oh, dear, so.

Oh, stop it, Jock!

# I'm courting a farmer's laddie

# He's one of the nicest ever seen

# His cheeks are rosy, rosy red

# And his age is just sweet 17

# But he throws his arms around my neck

# And tries to steal a kiss

# Oh, I wriggle and giggle and twist and twiggle

# And then you hear me shouting this

# Will you stop yer tickling, Jock?

# Stop yer tickling, Jock

# Dinna mak' me laugh so hearty

# Or you'll mak' me choke

# Oh, I wish you'd stop yer nonsense

# Just look at all the folk

# Will yer stop yer tickling? Ickle-ickle-ickling

# Stop yer tickling, Jock. #

Oh, he's terrible, is my Jock.

Oh, he really is, but he's a lovely boy.

I just wish he was here tonight.

I do, I do.

And I must tell you a wee bit about him.

He's very particular, you know. Oh, yes.

Always takes a bath once a month whether he needs it or not.

Yes.

Mind you, there is only one thing worries me.

I think he's a wee bit mean.

I do. Yes, I do. I'll tell you why, I'll tell you why.

I went round to his house the other day

and he was sitting there with a bag of crisps -

not eating them, counting them.

Mind you, I...

I think he takes his meanness from his father, because he's terrible.

Ssh, is anybody listening?

Cos I'll tell you why. Do you know,

he never sends a suit to the cleaners without putting

a pair of socks in the pocket.

Is that not just...?

I said, "Jock, I think this is awful."

Fancy having a father like that. But that's not all.

You'll never guess what he did to him when he was a wee boy.

Tore December out of the calendar

and said that they'd cancelled Christmas.

Is that not off? I said to him, "Jock..."

APPLAUSE

# Oh, will you stop yer tickling, Jock?

# Stop yer tickling, Jock

# Dinna mak' me laugh so hearty

# Or you'll mak' me choke

# Oh, I wish you'd stop yer nonsense

# Just look at all the folk

# Will yer stop yer tickling? Ickle-ickle-ickling

# Stop yer tickling, Jock

# Stop yer tickling, Jock

# Stop yer tickling, Jock

# Dinna mak' me laugh so hearty

# Or you'll mak' me choke

# Oh, I wish you'd stop yer nonsense

# Just look at all the folk

# Will yer stop yer tickling? Ickle-ickle-ickling

# Stop yer tickling, Jock! #

Oh, cheerio!

APPLAUSE

Continentally contributory to culture.

-AUDIENCE:

-Oooh!

And I see you're all connoisseurs.

Impeccable in Iberian immaculacy,

the Pompoff Thedy Family.

BELL CLATTERS

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Now the bell is going to play by itself.

Play!

BELL RINGS

Stop.

Now watch, because this is very important for the gentlemen.

BELL CLATTERS

Well, as you can see, no springs, no strings,

no batteries, no vitamins, nothing.

We're going to try once more so watch very carefully.

BELL CLATTERS

Are you ready?

Play.

BELL RINGS

No, no, no.

No!

THEY SHOUT INDISTINCTLY

APPLAUSE

I try to play the clarinet!

And now, what do you want?

We're going to play a real concert.

-A real concert.

-Piano and violin.

I'm playing the piano and he the violin.

Come on, take care of him.

Play.

Ah!

THEY ALL SHOUT INDISTINCTLY

GUNSHOT

I am going to play another clarinet.

I'm going to play Benny Goodman solo.

Sandro, Benny Goodman solo.

-This is pure jazz.

-OK.

RHYTHMIC HONKING

That's no good.

Stop. Stop it!

HONKING CONTINUES

APPLAUSE

THEY PLAY JAUNTY MELODY

APPLAUSE

CHEERING

Ineffably ineluctable.

Welcome back to that numinous nenuphar of nubility,

our own, your own, Miss Eira Heath!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# Two drummers sat at dinner

# In a grand hotel one day

# While dining they were chatting

# In a jolly sort of way

# And when a pretty waitress

# Brought them a tray of food

# They spoke to her familiarly

# In manner rather rude

# At first she did not notice them

# Or make the least reply

# But one remark was passed

# Which brought the teardrops to her eye

# And facing her tormentor

# With cheeks now burning red

# She looked a perfect picture

# As appealingly she said

# My mother was a lady

# Like yours, you will allow

# And you may have a sister

# Who needs protection now

# I've come to this great city

# To find a brother dear

# And you wouldn't dare insult me, sir

# If Jack were only here

# No, you wouldn't dare insult me, sir

# If Jack were only here. #

APPLAUSE

# 'Mid pleasures and palaces

# Though we may roam

# Be it ever so humble

# There's no place like home

# A charm from the sky

# Seems to hallow us there

# Which seek through the world

# Is ne'er met with elsewhere

# Home, home

# Sweet, sweet home

# There's no place like home

# There's no place like home

# An exile from home

# Splendour dazzles in vain

# Oh, give me my lowly

# Thatched cottage again

# The birds singing gaily

# That came at my call

# Give me them with the peace of mind

# Dearer than all

# Home, home

# Sweet, sweet home

# There's no place like home

# There's no place

# Like home. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

In a manic miscellany

of multifaceted mountebankery

and ebullient buffoonery...

Mr Billy Dainty.

CHEERING

JAUNTY MUSIC

AUDIENCE CLAP ALONG

MUSIC STOPS, CLAPPING CONTINUES

In the street of a thousand lanterns

By the sign of the swinging till

There's a barmaid known as Nelly And her sister, Cockeyed Lil.

Oh, take me back to the frozen north

Where the men are glad to look on

And the only thing you get when you dance

Is frostbite on the Yukon.

I would like to do something perhaps unprecedented for you tonight,

I'd like to sing.

AUDIENCE: Oh.

What do you mean, oh, oh, oh?

Where did you get this lot from?

Well, you can get another lot in, I tell you,

I've gone off them for a start.

I'd like to sing for you tonight.

A SMALL CHEER

Ladies and gentlemen,

as I say, I've had at least four requests...

LAUGHTER

..and three of them were physically impossible to do.

LAUGHTER

What a lovely audience now. They've warmed up, they've warmed up!

-DRUMBEAT

-What was that

APPLAUSE

Somebody keeps coming on here.

DRUMBEAT

Well, we've only rehearsed all day, he's very new.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to take you back

a few years to the pop singer of grandma's day.

You know, he was always a baritone.

MUSIC BEGINS

# Boots, boots, boots, boots

# Marching up and down

# Boots, boots, boots, boots

# Tramping along again

# Boots, boots, boots, boots

# And they're off to Africa

# Believe in the war

# Boots, boots, boots, boots

# Marching up and down again

# Boots, boots, boots, boots

# Tramping down the road again

# Boots, boots, boots, boots

# And they're all to Timothy Whites for sure

# Believe in the war. #

Boots!

CHEERING

APPLAUSE

It's very dangerous throwing things like that, you know.

It could have hit me on the head.

I could have grown up silly.

What a good job I never sing The Fishermen Of England.

They've gone off the boil over there, they've gone, they've gone.

Here we are, Wally, take those back.

That's tuppence on the rates.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'd like to come a little farther along

to the pop singer who really made the girls swoon,

the musical comedy star.

Now, of course he was always a handsome,

very dashing and a very virile tenor.

MUSIC BEGINS

# Drink! Drink! Drink!

# To eyes that are bright as stars that are shining on me

# Drink! Drink! Drink!

# To lips that are red and sweet as the fruit on the tree

# Here's a hope that those bright eyes will shine

# Lovingly, longingly

# Soon into mine

# Well, drink! Drink!

# Let the toast start

# May young love never part

# Drink! Drink! Drink!

# Let every true lover salute his sweetheart

APPLAUSE

# Here's a hope that those bright eyes will shine

# Lovingly

# Longingly...

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

# Let the toast start

# May young love never part

# Drink! Drink! Drink!

HE SLURS

Come on, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Please, please, please.

You might regret it at the end.

Now...

we come right up-to-date with a singer perhaps you know so well.

He won the finals in the wirework and social at the

British Legion Club,

Eddie Cruikshanks, comedian.

MUSIC STARTS

# No, I've never, never, never

# I've never seen a straight banana

# I looked around all over town

# I've seen bananas standing up I've seen them lying down

# I've tried very hard to find one

# I've never, never, never

# I've never seen a straight banana

All together now!

Chinese tricks.

Chey-Fu-Dey!

CHEERING

APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE

Reverberant resonances

in a reminiscent rendition of mellifluous Jolson

melodies, Mr Vince Hill!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Rock-a-bye your baby

# With a Dixie melody

# When you croon

# Croon a tune

# From the heart of Dixie

# Just hang that cradle, mammy mine

# Right on that Mason-Dixon Line

# That bloom in May

# So when it's raining

# Have no regrets

# Because it isn't raining rain, you know

# It's raining violets. #

# And you know you made me love you

# You made me want you

# And all the time you knew it

# Ah, I guess you always knew it

# You made me happy sometimes

# You made me glad

# But there were times, dear

# You made me feel so sad. #

# Ah, something's gotta happen to me

# Goodbye, Tootsie, goodbye

# Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry

# Watch for the mail

# I'll never fail

# If you don't get a letter then you'll know I'm in jail

# Oh-ho-ho, toot, toot, Tootsie, goodbye

# Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry. #

# And California, here I come That's it!

# Right back where I started from

# Where bowers of flowers bloom in the sun

# Each morning at dawning Birdies sing and everything

# A sun-kissed miss said, "Don't be late"

# That's why I can hardly wait

# Open up that Golden Gate

# California

# California

# California. #

# I'm feeling weary at heart

# Got to get back where I started from

# To see my mammy

# My little mammy

# The sun shines east

# The sun shines west

# But I know where the sun shines best

# Mammy

# My little mammy

# My heartstrings are tangled around

# Alabammy

# I'm comin'

# Sorry if I've made you wait

# I'm comin'

# And I'm hopin' that I'm not too late

# To see my mammy

# My little mammy

# I'd walk a million miles

# For one of your smiles

# My mammy. #

# Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby

# With a Dixie

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Outrageously epicene exploitation

of idiosyncratic egocentricity!

AUDIENCE GASPS Who?

Who but Mr Larry Grayson?!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

How are you? All right?

Oh, the agony I'm going through!

LAUGHTER

If I could only lie down for a minute. How are you?

Are you all right? From Bridlington?

Hull? Hull? I thought so. You always get the common lot on this side.

LAUGHTER

Do you know, honestly, I was just saying to the, er...

I hate this band. I was just saying...

The drummer's anybody's for a doughnut. I can tell you this...

LAUGHTER

Eh?

What a gay day! I tell you...

I've got the worms. I tell you this...

LAUGHTER

I have just been...

Oh, hello!

-I have just been...

-LAUGHTER

I've just been... Listen, you'll laugh at this, you will.

-MAN HECKLES

-You will!

-I've got to!

-LARRY LAUGHS

Seems like a nice man. Listen, listen...

But I tell you this, I can tell you,

I'm very lucky to be sitting here tonight.

I'm very lucky because, ooh, I've been in agony.

I mean, you know, the weather. I mean the damp.

It took me five minutes to get out of bed this morning.

And to think I used to get out of the hammock in two seconds.

It's the truth. Mind you, today...

I'm a bit brighter tonight, but what was I like this morning, Leonard?

I was as limp as a vicar's handshake. I was like this...

LAUGHTER

But, you see, recently... No, listen!

My hair wants washing. No, recently...

I had the kiss of life. Well, now, what happened...

Don't be so lucky, you!

LAUGHTER

Look, I was sitting at home the other morning,

and Everard came round to see me,

with his friend, Michael Bonaventure.

He came in, he said, "Are you prepared?"

I said, "What for?" He said... He said, "Tonight."

He said, "It's the grand dance,"

he said, "tonight at the Corn Exchange.

"And they want you to take part in the tableau in the cabaret."

I said, "Everard," I said, "I haven't taken part in the tableau

"for a long time, you see, with, you know, me trouble."

But he said, "It's the Christmas dance, you must be there!"

So I said, well, I thought, you've got to give a little.

I thought, you know, put your troubles behind you.

You have, haven't you? Love that dress. So...

He said... Oh, it's got Hull all over it. But anyway...

LAUGHTER

Have you come on a trawler? Anyway...

So, listen...

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

So, listen, no, listen.

So, you see, they wanted me to get on the top with

a Union Jack and wave it, see?

Well, of course, I'm game for anything, as you know.

Well...

Don't tell 'em I'm six. Well...

Anyway, we got in the middle of the floor, you see, and it was

all lovely, and then I climbed up to the top to wave the banner.

Well, it was all very lovely,

and then I think someone must have coughed.

LAUGHTER

Cos the next thing I remember...

..I was under the lot of them.

I felt a hand in me pocket,

I thought somebody was after me loose change, and I was...

And I lost me dickie, but I was...

And I haven't really been right since.

You know, I haven't been right at all. And I went...

-AUDIENCE: Aww...!

-No, don't, please, no, you mustn't.

Oh, you're a policeman over there!

Did you know Crippen? Well, I tell you what...

LAUGHTER

I was going to do a little song here

entitled Come Back To Sorrento And We'll Go Straight On To Bradford,

but what I'm going to do...

It's a love song, this, it's a love...

The heat from that candle!

I'm going to... Love your hat.

Is it a dove, or...?

Is it? A bird of paradise? Lovely. Is that your husband?

Soon to be.

Oh, how lovely, oh, soon to be! Lovely, in the new year?

In April, oh, how lovely.

I could almost cry.

LAUGHTER

Did you know Mary Pickford very well?

LAUGHTER

# Lovers, sitting, looking shy

# As lovers sometimes will

# Waiting for that hour of bliss

# When all the house was still

# Then her mama went out

# Dee-da, dee-da, dee-da, dee-dee

OK, what we'll do, Bernard,

as it's the last time we shall have a chance to sing Dee-Da, Dee-Da

in 1977 before we go into 1978,

I think we ought to do it just once more.

Would you like to do it once more again?

-Do you think so, Leonard?

-Oh, I'm sure.

Would you like to do it up there? Would you like to do it? You would?

Well, we're going to do it anyway, so please yourselves!

MUSIC COVERS CHATTER

Come and give us a good song!

All right, if you say so, OK.

# I saw the old homestead and faces I love

# I saw England's valleys and dells And dells

# And I listened with joy As I did when a boy

# To the sound of the old village bells

# The log was burning brightly

# 'Twas a light that would banish all sin

# For the bells were ringing the old year out

# And the new year in

# The log was burning brightly

# 'Twas a night that would banish all sin

# For the bells were ringing the old year out

# And the new year in! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

ONSTAGE LAUGHTER AND CHATTER

# Matilda Buggins is the name

# Of the girl I did admire

# When first I set my eyes on her

# She set my heart on fire

# I used to go and see her

# Every evening for a spoon

# And spend my wages on her On a Saturday afternoon

# But, oh, alas, alack a day

# It was an evil hour

# I took her to the music hall

# To get away from the shower

# She never looked at the stage at all

# To me it seemed so rum

# She never took her eyes away

# From the fella what played the drum

# She wouldn't go into the balcony

# Or into the circle stall

# She wouldn't go into the gallery

# For fear that she would fall

# She wouldn't go into the boxes

# It made her feel so glum

# She wanted to sit in the front of the pit

# With the fella who played the drum!

# But soon she learned the dreadful news

# That he had got a wife

# It near...!

# It nearly knocked the stuffing Out of poor Matilda's life

# She tried her tricks on me again

# No sympathy I had

# And the latest news concerning her

# Is that she is going mad! #

MATILDA AND THE CAST SHRIEK

# Well, the Army of Salvation

# She has joined to ease her mind

# And with her tambourine in hand

# Matilda you can find

-# She shouts out...

-Hallelujah!

# There's a glorious time to come

# So come and join the mighty throng

# And my fella who plays the drum!

HE THUMPS THE DRUM

# I wouldn't go into the balcony

# I wouldn't go into the stall

# I wouldn't go into the gallery

# For fear that I should fall

# I wouldn't go into the boxes

# They made me feel so glum

# I wanted to sit in the front of the pit

# With my fella who plays the drum

# She wouldn't go into the balcony

# Or into the central stall

# She wouldn't go into the gallery

# For fear that she should fall

# She wouldn't go into the boxes

# They made her feel so glum

# She wanted to sit in the front of the pit

# With the fella who plays the drum

# She wanted to sit

# In the front of the pit

# With the fella who plays the drum! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ooh, that's a nifty titfer you've got there!

Where did that come from?

I'm very glad you asked me that.

# Now, how I came to get this hat Is very strange and funny

# Grandfather died and left to me His property and money

# And when the will it was read out They told me straight and flat

# If I would have his money I must always wear his hat

# And now everywhere I go

# People shout out...

# Where did you get that hat?

# Where did you get that tile?

# Oh, isn't it a nobby one

# And just the proper style?

# I should like to have one

# Just the same as that

# Where e'er I go, they shout hello Where did you get that hat? #

You know, everywhere I go people laugh at me and my hat!

Yeah, they do. I don't know why.

It's a beautiful hat and that, a beautiful piece of material.

Feel that, Norman, feel it.

It's felt.

# Grandfather served with Nelson Upon the briny sea

# And braced upon the quarterdeck There were none so brave as he

# When Nelson got his fatal wound And on the deck did swoon

# Instead of kissing Hardy He began to croon this tune!

# Where did you get that hat?

# Where did you get that tile?

# Oh, isn't it a nobby one

# And just the proper style?

# I should like to have one

# Just the same as that

# Where e'er I go, they shout hello Where did you get that hat?

# La-di-da... #

ONSTAGE CHATTERING

Now, following in Father's footsteps,

I got married just last week.

# And naturally I wore this hat

# Tradition so to keep

# But halfway through the service

# When I came to say, "I do"

# The vicar said, "But first There is one thing I'll ask of you"

# Where did you get that hat?

# Where did you get that tile?

# Oh, isn't it a nobby one

# And just the proper style?

# I should like to have one

# Just the same as that

# Where e'er I go they shout hello

# Where did you get that hat?

# Oh, where did you get that hat?

# Where did you get that tile?

# A grand one, well, you know!

# We've enjoyed it too

# Just as much as you

# What a celebration

# Throughout all the nation

# Started off a treat

# Crowds were in the street

# People stand and whisper when we're on our beat

# What a time we had

# There ain't time for sad

# You will hear the bells a-ringing

# Specially when they all start singing

# Rum-tiddley-um-tum-tay

We don't sing that one, not on New Year's Eve!
