no, original is by Fred Murray and R. P. Weston. It was a signature song of music hall star Harry Champion and became the fastest-selling song in history to that point when revived in 1965 by Herman's Hermits.
No... I didn't mean that Raymond Crooke was the originator of this song, what I was trying to say was that Raymond sings this song on his youtube channel and he gives a pretty extensive history in his notes. Check it out...
Nice rendition, Lew. I just found this as I'm about to put up my own video of the song, and wanted to see what's up already. Was that Jenny doing the bracketed bits?
You're very good :)

@Cassie798 No he's right. We sang this at Primary school. The lyrics are 'named henry'
