The Norman Wisdom Song


Music and lyrics by Richie Kavanagh

Chorus
Norman Wisdom is the greatest comic of them all. 
We love his little walk, that trip and funny fall.
He made us laugh so much, at the silver screen. 
Norman Wisdoms comic films, were the greatest ever seen.

At fourteen years of age, he was sleeping on the street.
Then he joined the army and they put him on his feet.
They thought him how to drum and play the clarinet.
And as a fly weight boxer, Norman never could be bet.

Chorus
Norman Wisdom is the greatest comic of them all.
We love his little walk, that trip and funny fall.
He made us laugh so much, at the silver screen. 
Norman Wisdoms comic films, were the greatest ever seen.

He bought an aul suit, that was two sizes too small.
Payed a shilling for a cap, hanging on the wall.
He Knew he had the outfit, the fans they would adore.
Saying thank you mister Shopkeeper, he hoped out through the door.

Chorus
Norman Wisdom is the greatest comic of them all. 
We love his little walk, that trip and funny fall.
He made us laugh, so much at the silver screen. 
Norman Wisdoms comic films, were the greatest ever seen.

Soon he was a big star and the fans wanted more.
He made his first film, called Trouble in store.
Was at the Pinewood studios, the film it was made.
A fortune at the time, for five thousand pound was paid.

Chorus
Norman Wisdom is the greatest comic of them all.
We love his little walk, that trip and funny fall.
He made us laugh so much, at the silver screen. 
Norman Wisdoms comic films, were the greatest ever seen.
