Written and recorded by Max in 1958. I have also added an extra verse at the end from You Need Feet
which was also recorded in 1958 by comedian Bernard Bresslaw as a 'spoof' version of this song.
You can obviously choose whether to include this verse when playing this song.
Capo on fret 1 to sing alonga Max! Tabbed from youtube so any corrections welcome!
