Fantastic, Grandad used to sing this (along with other great songs we shall never forget)." Look at the coffin bloomin great handles.." We lost you way back at Xmas 1987 but will still fondly sing your songs Grandad along with Nan's who so recently joined you, in our hearts forever may you both truly R.I.P Rich and all the family.xx

Alan Bennett mentions this song in his book 'Untold Stories'. He used to listen to it on his grandma's red Rexene- covered wind-up gramophone.

: D Hahahahah...my Dad used to spin this every Sunday afternoon...followed by him playing Mendelsson's "Funeral March" on his beat-up piano. It was the signal for my Mom to take us kids to the park (even if it was raining).

Happy days... :D
