Who Sang This?

[maggiebee]

I gets up every mornin' when the clock strikes eight
I'm always punctual, never never late
With a nice cup of tea, a little round of toast
The Sporting Life and the Winning Post.
I gets all nice and tidy, then I toddles off to work
I do the best I can
Cos I'm only a-doin' what a bloke should do
Cos I'm only a workin' man!

Maybe some of our more mature ABers will recognise this?

It's taken me over an hour to remember his name. Was just about to google it when it popped into my mind.

[tonyav]

I'll play the piano if you like maggie.

By the way was that song something to do with the TV show that he ( Charlie Drake ) used to have ' The Worker '. ?

[maggiebee]

Yes Tony, it was the theme tune of "The Worker" starring Charlie Drake. This all started of because I heard the song "Splish Splash" on the radio this morning and couldn't for the life of me think who sang the comedy version of it. Could see him in my minds eye, short, stout, curly red hair and a really cheeky grin but his name just wouldn't come to me.
Right! Piano at the ready!

[tonyav]

Could you sing it to the tune of Chopsticks though maggie.
