Track 1 My Very Good Friend the Milkman by Fats Waller My very good friend the milkman says That I've been losing too much sleep He doesn't like the hours I keep. He suggests that you should marry me My very good friend the mailman says That it would make his burden less If we could have the same address He suggests that you should marry me Then there's a very friendly fellow Who prints all the latest real estate news And every day he sends me blueprints Of cottages with country views My very good friends and neighbour says They've been watching little things I do And they believe that I love you So I suggest that you should marry me

Track 2 Hound Dog by Elvis Presley You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine When they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie When they said you was high-classed Well, that was just a lie You ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time You ain't nothin' but a hound dog Cryin' all the time Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine When they said you was high classed Well, that was just a lie When they said you was high classed Well, that was just a lie You ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine

Track 3 The Biggest Aspidistra in the World by Gracie Fields For years we had an aspidistra in a flower pot On the whatnot, near the hat stand in the hall It didn't seem to grow 'til one day our brother Joe Had a notion that he'd make it strong and tall So he's crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree And he's planted it against the garden wall It shot up like a rocket, 'til it's nearly reached the sky It's the biggest aspidistra in the world We couldn't see the top of it, it got so bloomin' high It's the biggest aspidistra in the world When father's had a skin full at his pub, 'The Bunch of Grapes' He doesn't go all fighting mad and getting into scrapes, Oh no, you'll find him in his bear-skin playing Tarzan of the apes Off the biggest aspidistra in the world ……. The tom cats and their sweethearts Love to spend their evenings out Up the biggest aspidistra in the world They all begin meowing when the buds begin to sprout From the biggest aspidistra in the world The dogs all come around for miles, a lovely sight to see They sniff around for hours and hours And wag their tails with glee So I've had to put a notice up to say it's not a tree It's the biggest aspidistra in the world

Track 4 Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby by The Andrews Sisters & Bing Crosby I got a gal who's always late Anytime we have a date But I love her, yes I love her Mmm, he's gonna walk up to my gate And see if he can get it straight 'Cause he wants her, he's gonna ask her Is you is or is you ain't my baby The way you're actin' lately makes me doubt You's is still my baby, baby Seems my flame in your heart's done gone out A woman is a creature that has always been strange Just when you're sure of one You find she's gone and made a change Is you is or is you ain't my baby Maybe baby's found somebody new Or is my baby still my baby true

Track 5 The Story Of My Life by Michael Holliday Someday I'm going to write The story of my life I'll tell about the night we met And how my heart can't forget The way you smiled at me I'd like the world to know The story of my life The moment when your lips met mine And that first exciting time I held you close to me The sorrow when our love was breaking up The memory of a broken heart But later on, the joy of making up Never never more to part There's one thing left to do Before my story's through I've got to take you for my wife So the story of my life Can start and end with you The sorrow when our love was breaking up The memory of a broken heart But later on, the joy of making up Never never more to part There's one thing left to do Before my story's through I've got to take you for my wife So the story of my life Can start and end And start and end And start and end with you

Track 6 All Through The Night by Paul Robeson Sleep my love and peace attend thee All through the night Guardian angels God will lend thee All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping Hill and dale in slumber steeping Love alone’s watch is keeping All through the night Though I roam a minstrel lonely All through the night My true harp shall praise thee only All through the night Love's young dream, alas, is over Yet my strains of love shall hover Near the presence of my lover All through the night

Track 21 The Black Velvet Band by The High Kings In a neat little town they call Belfast Apprentice to trade I was bound For many an hour’s sweet happiness Have I spent in that neat little town When a sad misfortune came over me Which caused me to stray from the land Far away from my friends and relations Betrayed by the black velvet band Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band I took a stroll down Broadway Oh meaning not long for to stay When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid Come a traipsing along the highway She was both fair and handsome Her neck it was just like a swan’s And her hair it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band Her eyes they shone like diamonds I thought her the queen of the land And her hair it hung over her shoulder Tied up with a black velvet band

Track 22 My Old Man Said Follow The Van by Jessie Wallace (playing Marie Lloyd) We had to move away ‘cause the rent we couldn't pay The moving van came round just after dark There was me and my Old Man Shoving things inside the van Which we'd often done before let me remark We packed all that we could pack In the van and that's a fact And we got inside all we could get inside Then we packed all we could pack On the tailboard at the back 'Til there wasn't any room for me to ride And, my Old Man said ‘Follow the van And don't dilly dally on the way’ Off went the cart with me home packed in it And I walked behind it with me old cock linnet But I dillied, I dallied, dallied and dillied I lost the way and don't know where to roam ‘Cause, I just dropped in to have a little drop of gin And now I can't find my way home And, my Old Man said ‘Follow the van And don't dilly dally on the way’ Off went the cart with me home packed in it And I walked behind with me old cock linnet But I dillied, I dallied, dallied and dillied I lost the way and don't know where to roam And if someone could get me in it

I’d be in there with my linnet But I can’t find my way home Track 23 Clink! Clink!
