Don't Dilly Dally (My Old Man Said Follow the Van)

Gill Harris (my mum) performing Marie Lloyd's Don't Dilly Dally. First performed in 1918 and written by Fred W Leigh (died 1924) and Charles Collins (died 1923).

She recently performed it for several Christmas shows in front of appreciative audiences but my father was so entertained he forgot to press record on the video camera. So this is a command performance, acapella, in my parents' room.

I think she should enter Britain's Got Talent as she is a darn sight less rubbish than some of the recent competitors and more likely to be liked by the Queen.

Your Mum should be on Britains Got Talent. She's sure got talent. Unlike that idiot Justine Beever.

@paul1967uk I told her that but she pooh poohs the suggestion!

Excellent start to the new year. Entertaining is obviously in the family.

Nice! She reminds me of the people working at the London Transport Museum. Is that a bird cage she is holding?
