Kenneth Williams' Crepe Suzette Song

A new biography has just come out: Kenneth Williams: Born Brilliant: The Life of Kenneth Williams by Christopher Stevens. It's a readable, sympathetic account. He's talked to many close friends, and had access to the entire set of diaries. In his opinion, when the diaries are published in full Williams will be known as a writer of the same rank as Pepys. They are still under embargo as many of those mentioned are still alive. It's a shame that by the time we can read them in their entirety there'll be no-one left who remembers the post-war world he wrote about so - brilliantly.

SPOKEN:
My Next song, is un chant d'amour, a song of lurve,
He loves her, and she loves him, but they cannot be marriéd. Because they are how you say, they are, husband and wife.

It's called, it's called, "Crepe Suzette" which is in English "A Flaming Hot Dish", and so is Suzette..."
