Contents:

Disc 1: The man was a stranger to me

Rolling around Piccadilly

John Willie's jazz band

I parted my hair in the middle

John Willie came on

I always was a willing young lad

All going back

In the Congo

Our house is haunted

Do de o do

Chinese laundry blues

The old kitchen kettle

I told my baby with the ukulele

If you don't want the goods, don't maul 'em

John Willie at the licensing office (with company) Parts 1 and 2

I could make a good living at that

Let's all go to Reno

Why don't women like me?

Running around the fountain in Trafalgar Square

Sitting on the ice in the ice rink

Levi's monkey

Mike

With my little ukulele in my hand

As the hours and the days and the months and the years go by. Disc 2: She's never been seen since then

Swimmin' with the wimmin

Sunbathin' in the park

The wedding of Mr. Wu

I went all hot and cold

Baby

My ukulele

Believe it or not

In a little wigan garden

You can't keep a growing lad down

It's no use looking at me

There's nothing proud about me

The best of schemes

Madame Moskovitch

John Willie goes carolling (with company) Parts 1 and 2

Fanlight Fanny

The fiddler kept on fiddling

Share and share alike

I do do things, I do

The pleasure cruise

The isle of man

The wash house at the back

Riding in the TT races. Disc 3: Gallant Dick Turpin (with company) Parts 1 and 2

A farmer's boy

Radio bungalow town

George Formby medley parts 1 and 2

Ring your little bell

Quick-fire medley

The window cleaner

Sitting on the sand all night

Keep your seats, please

Five and twenty years

Dare-devil Dick

Bunkum's traveling show

I'm a froggie

The ghost

Oh dear, mother

You're a li-a-ty

When we feather our nest

With my little stick of blackpool rock

Hindoo man

Trailing around a trailer

Said the little brown hen

My little goat and me

Trailer for "Keep your seats, please". Disc 4: The Lancashire toreador

My plus fours

Easy-going chap

The window cleaner no. 2

Somebody's wedding day

I don't lie

Keep fit

Biceps, muscle and brawn

Leaning on a lamp post

Hi-tiddley-hi-ti-island

Trailer for "Keep fit"

You can't stop me from dreaming

She can't say no

Remember me

Maybe I'll find somebody else

Does your dream book tell you that?

Like the big pots do

I blew a little blast on my whistle

Wunga bunga boo

Have you every heard this one?

Springtime's here again

Noughts and crosses

The joo-jah tree

Mother, what'll I do now?

In my little snapshot album. Disc 5: Our sergeant-major

They can't fool me

It's in the air

Sitting pretty with my fingers crossed

Tan tan tivvy tally-ho

I wonder who's under her balcony now

Kiss your mansy pansy

Rhythm in the alphabet

Frigid air fanny

Little wooden toolshed in the garden

Hill Billy Willie

It's turned out nice again

I can tell it by my horoscope

Hitting the high spots

Swing it, George parts 1 and 2

I'm the husband of the wife of Mr. Wu

It's a grand and healthy life

Goodnight, little fellow, goodnight

Pardon me.
