Lord Kitchener - The Chinese never had a VJ Day

"The Chinese never had a VJ Day". An old calypso from the late great Lord Kitchener.



I well remember our VE and VJ day celebrations, a great street party was held in our road in Mill Hill, London on both VE and VJ victory dates.

A musical tribute to Sir Alec Bedser by Lord Kitchener. The events of the 1953 cricket test match against Australia are recalled in calypso.

A young Sparrow evidently had 2224 good reasons to enjoy a satisfying sleep while he kept his wife Emelda waiting.
