Dad's Army Theme on Piano

Vintage comedy now on BBC2 with Dad's Army. This tune was etched onto my brain when I was very young. I still don't see the relevance of the A21 other than it rhymes with 'gun'.

Who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler
If you think old England's done
We are the boys who will stop your little game
We are the boys who will make you think again
So who do you think you are kidding Mr Hitler
If you think old England's done

Mr Brown goes off to town on the A21
Then he comes home each evening
And he's ready with his gun
So who do you think.....

@Andersondic I just answered a similar point on my Ski Sunday video. At the time I didn't think anyone would take much notice, but I now realise that a lot of musicians watch my arrangements and for that reason I now avoid using the transpose function.

@DaBeesNees100 Thank you, somone who has actually looked it up.

The amount of people on here that think it's A21 & not 8:21 .... it drives me crazy.

For those who still think it's A21, here is the line from the theme tune.

"Mr Brown goes off to Town on the 8:21, but he comes home each evening & is ready with his gun!" Look it please people.

@Andi090386 just signed in to say the same thing :P yupp

[Andi090386]

@callmeshane303 It's 8:21 as in the Bus time.

Look it up on the Dad's Army Website.

The A21 - it's a bus route.
