boozing and cruising along

Bobby! John, here!

Hello, John.

We've been to Blackpool,

haven't we, John?

- We found lke Turner on the South Pier.

- Oh, yeah, was he lost?

Stan brought him over. You know Stan?

Stan looked after the girls

while we were out.

- They should be in bed, eh?

- I know, but John's here.

- Yeah, I'm here.

- Yeah, and it's late.

Come on, you two, wake up.

Let's go. Come on.

I'll take them up. Come on.

Come on, John. It's getting dark.

Next time I'll make Eccles cakes.

I love those.

Don't tell Mimi, please.

This is our secret.

Promise me, hmm?

We'll have an even better time

next time, OK?

Go now, go!

I love you!

You're my dream!

Don't forget that.

Mummy?

Daddy?

Mummy?

What happened next

was described as a miracle of...

Lennon!

John. John!

- Churchill.

- Churchill, sir.

Too late!

I'll get it.

You can't just turn up like this,

you know. It's not...

My dream is back!

As far as the eye can see,

excited youngsters

from all over the region

are on hand for the return

of Elvis Presley

to Tupelo, Mississippi,

the town where he was born.

The king of rock'n'roll

will soon be seen in his first picture,

titled "Love Me Tender".

In a phenomenon

recalling Marilyn Monroe's sensational

debut in show business,

Mr Teenager is obtaining a popularity

unparalleled in theatre history.

# Well, get out of that bed

and wash your face and hands

# Get out of that bed

and wash your face and hands

# Well, get in that kitchen and make

some noise with the pots and pans

# I believe to my soul

you're the devil in nylon hose

# I believe to my soul

you're the devil in nylon hose

# For the harder I work,

the faster my money goes

# Well, I said shake, rattle and roll

# I said shake, rattle and roll

# I said shake, rattle and roll

# I said shake, rattle and roll

# Well, you won't do right

to save your doggone soul

It's jazz! Sh*t.

Jazz. Sh*t.

Sh*t. I've nicked the wrong stuff here.

Oh, hang on.

- Jazz sh*t.

- Oh, hey, cool it!

- Have some respect. Music is music.

- Well worked out, clever clogs.

No man's vinyl

deserves to be tossed in the drink.

- But it's jazz.

- Jazz is cool.

- It's sh*t!

- Tell Billie Holiday that.

Sure, where is he?

Yous are rock'n'rollers, right?

Got a record in my cab

that's not even out here yet.

Straight in from New York City.

I'll swap you.

- Who's it by?

- Screamin' Jay Hawkins. Killer, baby!

OK, we'll wait,

with these.

- I've never heard of him, have you?

- No. I bet Mum has. Mum knows everyone.

"Killer, baby!" F***ing twat.

Here she comes.

# Well, a hard-headed woman

# Soft-hearted man

# Been a cause of trouble

ever since the world began, oh, yeah
