Don't Dilly Dally (My Old Man Said Follow the Van) video

Gill Harris (my mum) performing Marie Lloyd's Don't Dilly Dally. First performed in 1918 and written by Fred W Leigh (died 1924) and Charles Collins (died 1923). She recently performed it for several Christmas shows in front of appreciative audiences but my father was so entertained he forgot to press record on the video camera. So this is a command performance, acapella, in my parents' room. I think she should enter Britain's Got Talent as she is a darn sight less rubbish than some of the recent competitors and more likely to be liked by the Queen.
