Chords for Gloria Hunniford joins Val Doonican

I smell a kiss.
I get a kiss as well, don't I?
Oh, can you manage to get up there?
Do you realize that Val Dunagan has spent all this week sewing all these beads and things on?
Look at that.
Didn't I do a good job?
It's taken you ages.
Didn't I?
Now listen, the singing wasn't too painful after all, was it?
It took you a whole week to teach me the song, Val Dunagan.
Ah, well, there you go.
Wasn't it lovely?
That's true.
You better say yes if it is right.
_ _ See you, girl.
Aren't you worried about this grievous bodily harm bit?
The image you have?
No.
You see_
Well, I mean, you know, just the image that's spread around.
No, no, because you see, Gloria, I knew you long before you started mixing with all these kind of people that you're mixing with these days on the radio.
Common touch, yeah.
The common touch, you know, the organ stuff and all that.
I knew you in the good old days, didn't I?
I'll tell you something.
One of your very first television programs was on Ulster Television.
That's right.
And at that time, I was a production assistant running around with a clipboard and a little stopwatch.
So you see, I've been chasing you for 20 years.
_ And he improves with age.
I always like the older man, you see.
Ah, thank you.
Thank you very much.
And about the suits and things, I mean, I know that Wogan says that you wear a lot of things for a bit.
Now, this isn't pink or blue, really.
It's a nice color tonight.
Listen, _ he would give his life to find himself a nice suit like this, Wogan, you see.
_ He would. _
Applause, will you, because he's probably looking at you.
_ I'll tell you another thing.
I had a letter this week from a lady who said,
I noticed that Val Dunagan doesn't wear sweaters anymore,
so when you go into [G] Television Centre on Saturday,
have a look around in his dressing room and see if there are any old sweaters lying around.
And if he can't get the sweaters, she said, just bring me the knitting patterns.
Ah, sure.
Because he hasn't got any, have you?
Don't take that one, otherwise I go home and me vest tonight, because that's the one I came in today.
I like this bit.
Is this a bit where we try and kid them that we haven't been practicing a duet and everything?
No, it was very nice, actually.
When we came to talk about a duet, actually, she mentioned a song that she'd like to sing, and quite amazing.
I explained to her how this song came about, and if you sort of bear with me for a minute.
Back in the old days, before I started to be successful,
one of the things I used to [Dm] do to make a few quid is I used to make what they call demo discs.
If somebody wrote a song, I would make a demo disc of the song for five pounds,
and they would send it to somebody famous.
You were overpaid then, too, weren't you?
_ _ [G#] So, this was a Eurovision song that was in Swedish, and the guy put English words to it.
And he came to my house, and with a little tape recorder, I made a demo of this song for five pounds, honestly. _
And he sent it to Maurice Chevalier, who was making a children's album at the time,
and he didn't particularly like the song, and he sent it back.
And a few years after that, I started to make records.
And would you believe, this fella sent me my own demo.
He did.
_ And I said to him, well, that's not fair, now.
You see, you've done somebody out of five quid now doing that.
So, I told him to make another one and sent it to me.
So, he got Engelbert Humperdinck to do one for him. _
So, you got five pounds for doing that?
I did, yeah.
So, if we sing it tonight, then my share is [D] 250, right? 250 each.
It's a deal.
Let's [Bm] try. _
_ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] Children [B] are people [Em] who live [A] in a land [D] made of raindrops [Bm] and puddles [F#] and pebbles [A] and streams.
[F#m] _ [Bm] Solemnly watching [Em] it twig [A] as it sails [D] on a clear [Bm] crystal pool [Em] to an island of [D] dreams.
[Bm] There go [E] a pair [Bm] who have just built [E] a city [Bm] of mud, _ [E] and it's real.
[C#m] Now, they [F#] know that mud [C#m] doesn't look very pretty, [C#m] but oh, _ how it _ [F#m] feels.
[D] _ _
[D] This little boy greets the snow [Em] with a smile.
_ And _ _ _ that [A] _ [C#] little girl has [C#m] discovered [Bm] an isle made [E] up of [A] pillows.
_ [D] One _ little fellow [C] is friends [G] with the wind in the [Gm] willows.
_ _ [F#] All of them children [Bm] and all [E] our [A] mysterious _
_ [G] _ [D] people.
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] Children [Bm] are people who [Em] live in [A] a land that is strange.
[Bm] It's a land where [E] the little [A] are great.
[F#m] _
[Bm] Wonderful people [Em] who travel [D] all over the world as they swing to [Em] and fro [D] on a gaze.
[Bm] I know [C#m] a boy [Bm] who could talk [E] to a moonbeam [Bm] and old.
[E] One or two.
_ _ [C#m] They're [F#] on the fence.
It's a [C#m] girl who's [F#] convinced [C#m] that the _ world is [E] all blue.
_ [D] _ _ [A] This [D] little boy is an [Em] Indian brave. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] He's [C#] got a map [G#] that will lead to [Bm] a cave filled [F#] up with _ treasure.
_ [D] This [D] _ [G] little girl makes a [B] new funny [G] _ face, laughing [Gm]
with pleasure.
_ [A] All [F#] of them children [Bm] and all our [E] mysterious [A] _ _ _
_ [D] people.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D]
I can [Em] remember when I was a [A] boy that [Dm] my bed was a ship [B] that I sailed through the night.
_ [F#m] And I [G] remember the world as a place that was eager and loving and [Dm] shiny and bright.
[G] But where is the [E] boy who [Bm] was friends with the [E] rainbow and once rode upon?
_ _ [C#] Oh, [F#] where is that shy and mysterious _ person?
[G#] Oh, where _ _ [G] have I _ gone?
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] I can remember I once [Em] said my _ _ _ prayers.
_ But now I [C#] stand by [G#] while my children [Bm] say theirs, watching [E] them be.
[A] _
_ [D] And _ [D] I could cry that one [B] day they'll [G] forget _ all that [C] they _ feel.
_ _ _ _ [D]
Oh, what [F#] a shame that [Bm] our children should [E] grow _ into [G] _ being.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
