It reminds me of my Grandad's party piece which was something about she wears red feathers and a hooly hooly skirt, lives on fresh coconuts and fish from the sea! It was a little done with actions and a bit like Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes where you stay silent at certain words! grin

A big hit in its day, WilmaK, for Guy Mitchell, produced by Mitch Miller.

feetlebaum I just Googled Guy Mitchell and know quite a few of his songs because my Dad had lots of hits of the 50s albums. I know all the words to Singing the Blues! grin

Cast your mind back to the Light Programme on a Saturday morning. Uncle Mac's Children's Favourites, it has the word bum (he he) in it.

Saturday morning for me was Ed 'Stewpot' Stewart and Junior Choice. But I can't think of a song that has bum in it!

Another clue (before I give in!)?

Burl Ives, and Roger Whittaker have both recorded it. It's about a Hobo's dreamland.

I know Kiss Me Kate is the Taming of the Shrew, but that doesn't help because the only song I have know is I Hate Men

Love me musicals!

How about
"When mothers pack and leave poor father
Because they decide they'd rather be tennis pros"
