Tahiti Trot

I thought that was an unfortunate bowel condition

[cloughie]

Could it be Vincent Youmans? He wrote Tea for Two, and the songs for Flying Down to Rio.

But the Russian composer?? <scratches head>

Rearrange Tea fot Two. There is also another work in the clues!

[Flay]

You mean Tea for Two is not a "songless cuppa?" - there's something even less musical?

You are all correct so far, Tahiti Trot was what i was after but songless refers to another VY song!

"Without a Song" ???

[cloughie]

"Without a Song" ???

The A is all yours!

Right. A slight variation this time: an A but also one other letter from further down the alphabet. Two words.

I want a poem, a song, and an opera:

Mother's vexed!

I've no real ideas but is it in English?

The poem is, with a right good and proper local accent.... (so is the song, but nicht the opera)

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Is the A the first of the two words (as in Albert Herring - but obviously not, after your reply to cloughie)?

No and yes and not necessarily in there at all (I've got cloughieitis!)

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

I'm glad we cleared that up!

I'm glad we cleared that up!

You'll have to get the poem first.

Blimey Sue Johnstone in Corrie?

Remembering back to what she got up to as Sheila Grant in Brookside, the street could be in for a right old shake-up

Norris better watch his piggy bank, that's all I'm saying

Nice to have you back, Calibs - I hope you'll be ready with your referee's whistle, it's been like Mafeking in here while you were away
