An audience with Kenneth Williams

[Scotman84]

Was watching a re-run of it last night and have spent most of the day trying to find the lyrics to 'Crepe Suzette' which he performed at the end of the show. Anyone know them?

[-Zorro-]

whiffey is Kenneth Williams' lovechild

[-Zorro-]

[Scotman84]

Thanks Zorro - REALLY helpful, now anyone who actually has the lyrics won't bother replying cos they think my question has been answered !!!! Well done mate !!!

[-Zorro-]

sorry Scotty.

[Scotman84]

That's ok mate - just having a rant. As your punishment you must find the lyrics for me tomorrow lol !

[-Zorro-]

see my Q above !!

[whiffey]

Well, I am gay, and what's so wrong with that ?

Melanie is trying hard to convert me, and it is quite fun along the way.

[-Zorro-]

whiffey...when did I suggest that that you were or that it was a crime....I just enjoy winding u up...coz u come acrross as "Im so superior coz I am gramatically correct"

[whiffey]

Too many r's, too few m's

I am gay, and proud of it.

You zoro, are just barely literate lol :)

[dot.hawkes]

well this is the Danny Kaye one, I think it may be the same;


Madam, I like your crepe suzette
I think your crepe suzette is wonderful
But for the moment lets forget
All about your crepe suzette
Madam, I like your cheese souffle
I think your cheese souffle is wonderful
But when you look at me that way
How can I eat cheese souffle
I regret to say I'm unable
To partake at your table
You'd be more delish
Account of you're my favorite dish
Madam, if I don't eat a bite
It's not because I lost my appetite
You know what I am thinking of
Madam I came here for love
I regret to say I'm unable
To partake at your table
You'd be more delish
Account of you're my favorite dish
Madam, if I don't eat a bite
It's not because I lost my appetite
You know what I am thinking of
Madam I came here just for love

Thanks again in any case

I have a recording of the song " Ma Crepe Suzette" somewhere around. I got off a Radio 4 programme, "Aspects of the Fringe", zome 20 odd years ago. I'll try and find it. However, they sang it to the tune "Come back to Sorrento" which actually fits the words much better than the the tune Kenneth Williams used, "Auld Lang "syne".
