The Incredible Double Decker Party Warwick WW 5126/7
One of my best selling albums. I was approached by Warwick Records to make a TV-advertised double album set featuring 101 party songs. Recorded at the famous Abbey Road studios in front of a live audience, it went on to sell 100,000 copies and brought me two gold discs. The TV commercial is hysterical … I’m dressed as a bus conductor ushering people onto my “Double Decker” and on the top deck, there’s an upright piano which I play as we all trundle down the seafront at Brighton!
Disc 1
Roll out the barrel
Ma, he’s making eyes at me
Put your arms around me honey
Let the rest of the world go by
I’m forever blowing bubbles
Sally
What’ll I do?
Carolina in the morning
When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin’ along
April showers
Bye bye blackbird
Hokey Cokey
Strolling
Hometown
Underneath the arches
On the sunny side of the street
Walking my baby back home
Side by side
The Anniversary Song
The Anniversary Waltz
My melancholy baby
You made me love you
I don’t know why
When I leave the world behind
Knees up, Mother Brown
Can-Can
California, here I come
Swanee
Deep in the heart of Texas
Have you ever been lonely?
Shine on harvest moon
Roses of Picardy
On Mother Kelly’s doorstep
Singing in the rain
Don’t fence me in
You are my sunshine
If I had my way
The sunshine of your smile
You’ll never know
I’ll get by
I came, I saw, I conga’d
As time goes by
I only have eyes for you
Yours
In a shanty in old shanty town
Lilli Marlene
The white cliffs of Dover
Now is the hour
’Til we meet again
The last waltz
Auld Lang Syne
Disc 2
Let’s twist again
It’s my party
Doo Wah Diddy Diddy
Knock three times
Bobby’s girl
Save your kisses for me
Matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs
Those were the days
My old man’s a dustman
Mull of Kintyre
Somewhere my love
Edelweiss
Are you lonesome tonight?
The Birdie Song
Isn’t she lovely?
Green Door
Nine to Five
Can’t smile without you
Congratulations
Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree
This old house
Bye bye love
When I’m 64
All you need is love
A hard day’s night
She loves you
Hands Up!
Y.M.C.A.
Loop de loop
In the navy
Shaddup you face
I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
Walk right back
Singing the blues
Day trip to Bangor
Lily the Pink
Yellow submarine
Release me
Green green grass of home
Tears
I love you because
Y Viva Espana
One day at a time
(Que sera sera) Whatever will be, will be
Delilah
Simon says
Brown girl in the ring
Rivers of Babylon
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da
Sailing
You’ll never walk alone
