This is for the oldies, so if you are under 60 you might like to pass on to something less ancient. I am looking for the name of the singer who used to sing "I've got a motto, let's be merry and bright". Possibly performed on radio and in music halls in the 30's or 40's.

[Page 27, lines 15-16] Cheer up � soon be dead! Song commonly delivered by a comedian with a dead-pan aspect of solid gloom. Its chorus went:
�I�ve gotta motto �
Always merry and bright!�
I�ve often said to myself, I�ve said,
Cheer up, cully, you�ll soon be dead!
It�s a short life and a gay one!�
