Back to work (2)
Idea shamelessly nicked from a conversation between Mike and Jim D and yes I know Peggy Lee did it better.
Actually, Bette Midler's not half bad on this number. Nit quite as good as Peggy Lee, perhaps - but, then , who is? and I love the banjo and tuba two-beat rhythm: just right for this strange and slightly disturbing number.
Just to remind Mr Denham - I've not forgotten that drink you owe me for the Bernie Cornfeld competition. I'm sure Bernie would have figured out a way to make cash out of the Lehman Bros/AIG/ETC sage.

My father insisted on Peggy Lee at his funeral.
