Thanks, Phineous! I’m married to Patricia Margaret Barnes, daughter of Bertie James Barnes, so a Fred James Barnes tune is a treat to hear! I should point out, though, that the version of Billy Williams’ “I’m Henery the Eighth, I Am” that was a chart hit in the 1960s was by Joe Brown and the Bruvvers, not Herman’s Hermits.

My Mum and her sister (both born in the 1920’s) used to sing the chorus of this song to us when we were kids in the 60’s. Great memories ! So glad I found this !

Many thanks for this. I grew up in the late 1960’s and sang this song with my grandparents, so it’s a delight to hear it again.
