This was always a favourite on junior choice Saturday morning on the old BBC light program along with other classic comedy records like My Brother by Terry Scott, My boomerang won't come back by Charlie Drake, Right said Fred and digging a hole by Bernard Cribbins. Tubby the Tuba by Danny Kaye and loads of others. Lovely memories of better days.
It makes me cry every day and night when I hear our Tommy Cooper sing don't jump off the roof Dad bless him Tommy was a great man and he went out like a light and we were all laughing 💔 😢 SADLEY HE died 💔 on stage that night Tommy s passing 💔 😢 I will never forget 💔 because I was thier Tommy was and still is a genius 💔 😢 SADLEY missd but will always be in our hearts 💕 💞 💔 😢 God bless you Tommy
Always found Tommy Cooper extremely funny. When I watched hi TV shows originally I had tears in my eyes and often ended up rolling on the floor laughing - literally
+john dyhouse I saw him live and he was one of the funniest men on stage you knew what he was going to and the old gags but he made them as funny as the first time you heard them.He did his Cooking with Cooper sketch with the Chicken and the Duck it was hilarious
Taught my now adult son all the words when he was 4. He'd sing away, the weeding and "sneeding" was hard!! XXX I taught my bestie in the early 60s. We all loved it. X
My dad used to have this single which I lent to a friend...who then, conveniently LOST it. Never forgave him and miss owning this little bit of British history.
I never knew Tommy made a record until about five minutes ago, I was watching a TV show about his life. You really can't help but laugh at this comedy genius, anyone remember him tying a handkerchief over the wooden duck's eyes so it couldn't see the cards? 😂🤣😂
God bless you Tommy and now your entertaining captain Tom and making him an our dear Duke of Edinburgh laugh Tommy you were a fantastic man and Ledgend and a genius and amazing magician most of all your magic made me laugh just like that
Ah, this reminds me of my Dad and then his Dad. It probably was written for my Granddad. Unless you're working class and British you will not understand why this song is so perfectly typical of the British experience.
Tommy' Cooper a great man and a great magician but no one but no one could ever sing like TOMMY COOPER IT WAS A GREAT LOSS WHEN TOMMY COLLAPSED AND DIED ON STAGE LOOSIN TOMMY WAS AND STILL IS A TRAGIC LOSS AND TOOMY HAS LEFT A HUGE VOID BUT TOMMY SINGING DON'T JUMP OFF THE ROOF DAD IS JUST PURE MAGIC WHAT A FANTASTIC MAGNIFICENT MAGICIAN TOMMY COOPER WAS AND HE'S STILL VERY SADLEY MISSED GOD BLESS YOU TOMMY COOPER
God bless you Tommy Cooper a great man and magician and we will mourn his loss forever but what a legersey Tommy left behind him Tommy Cooper is still loved to this day
Naw mate, back then people were allowed to have a sense of humour. Try releasing a record like that today and you'll have the lefties and PC police on your back like a ton of bricks. And nobody would hear it... the BBC would ban it instantly.
I always remember being a kid in a caravan at a holiday camp in the uk ... watching tommy cooper sat with my grandad... till the electric cut out 🤣🤷🏻♂️ must of been about 1995/96
Somewhere I heard this same song perhaps, by a different artist but, with Change to the Lyrics along the way. Can't renember it all but, I do recall where they tell Dad to 'Jump Off The Cliff' instead of 'Jump In The Lake'.
God bless you Tommy Cooper you were amazing and a Legend and a genius at magic we will always miss you Tommy you were amazing and a Legend we all miss you so much Tommy you were taken from us so suddenly wen you collapse d on stage God bless you Tommy RIP Tommy Cooper you were thee Best magician ever
Don't jump off the roof Dad, you'll make a hole in the yard, and if you jump off the roof Dad you'll find the ground fucking hard. He was a great comedian, sorely missed.
Origional Tommy Cooper .... I went to the doctors and said "doctor ever time I life my arm up it hurts ... and the doctor said, well don't lift your arm up " !!!!
feck, Am 44 year old , &i will always rember toms jokes,& a rember seen the time tom, passed away on telly, i dont have to say any more,! tom is was the best,!
Adrian - I meant no disparagement of Tommy Cooper who did make that song his own, just as African-American singers (and Scottish bagpipers for that matter) have made "Amazing Grace" their own.
re the comments about how British this is...the songwriter was an American, Cy Coben, born in Jersey City, NJ. He wrote a lot of comedy/novelty songs as detailed in Wikipedia and elsewhere.
j0nnyism A British Music Hall tradition. Tommy Cooper makes it his own. Amazing Grace is a great African American spritiual, guess what? it was wriitten by a Methodist/ Anglican clergyman.He was English. I beleive Mr Hansen is a traditional youtube smartarse!
My dad used to sing this to me at bedtime... both giggled away. I still find myself giggling when it pops into my head.

40 years since we lost Tommy Cooper, Eric Morecambe and Leonard Rossiter. 1984 was a terrible year for British comedy 😢
Sadly true.

Only Tommy cooper could pull this off..
I remember this being on the radio when I was a little lad. Never knew it was Tommy who sang it Brilliant song
My dear dad passed away two years ago, but this was the one song we all sang really loud because he loved it, so we all did too xxxx
My dad's been gone 6 years next month. We'd sing this, Spike Jones, Tom Lehrer. All of them such great memories.
Me too 😢❤ now my 5 year old nephews song it.
I love this and makes me laugh so much, when I eventually peg out I’m tend to have this is one of the songs at my funeral!
Tommy the world is a sadder place with out Tommy Cooper you were amazing and a Legend and a genius and a great magician my Hero RIP TOMMY Cooper
Only he could make a great record of this material.
It is also a brilliant waltz 🙂
Greatest comedian ever. R.I.P Tommy..You are sadly and greatly missed.

This is such a British off the wall tune.I dont think anyone would understand it if you hadnt grown up here.
Definitely. You know theres at least one yank sitting there now scratching there head going huh? Lol
+Rebekah Leech aye a bet they are
The yanks loved Benny Hill,so they are not that different from us.Maybe they would love Tommy too,as we all did.
Stayshtum68 he was a master of prestidigitation and the king of comedy and still is in my book
There not so different from us"inspired comment"
This is fantastic, Good old Tommy ,we miss you
i thought this was done by Max Bygraves but that laugh immediately put me straight 😁👍
Heard this for the first time ever on Boom Radio last week. Very funny. Don't think anyone would get away with it now!
What a CHEWN! I remember when i was young seeing poor Tommy keel over and die live on Tv. Rip LEGEND.
oh bless you, im sure that 3as hard to watch :( I only recently found out about him :(
@@ronniemillsap
Initially it looked like it was part of the act. TC went out with the audience laughing.
My dad used to have this single which I lent to a friend...who then, conveniently LOST it. Never forgave him and miss owning this little bit of British history.
I'm only 12 and I love tommy cooper to bits!!!! :) RIP TOMMY THE BEST COMEDIAN TO WALK ON THE EARTH! :')
My dads favourite song, reminds me of my childhood!., fab!
I had completely for gotten this one. Lovely to hear it again.

+pigknickers Yes, makes me think of my childhood. Golden years indeed. Simple times.
Your dad's dad is your grandpa BTW so instead of saying my dad's dad say my dad and my grandpa OK say that instead
@@zynchroyt-2961 See you dont understand working class English from another time . To someone my age it makes perfect sense.
We're not ALL suicidal!
It’s funny how our parents struggled all their lives but it was a happy time
What an earworm , I often sing this to myself all these years later

Matt Gibbson Ha ha brilliant 👍
@Released9825 Not me!
@@Warriorking.1963 TRUEEE, times back then were best for the reason things had much more slack until social media was involved
My dad showed me this song not long before he passed well I was nearly wetting myself 🤣🤣
Fantastic

Me and me mum used to sing this to me dad !
The Pc brigade would be screaming in disbelief at hearing this love!y old song. Reminds me of being a kid happy memories.
I'm 15, born in 2007 and I'm so glad my nan showed me this music, changed my taste of music quite a bit
Fantastic version of the song, Tommy, You are a legend. I bet you keep Heaven laughing.
One of my all time nostalgic favourites. : )
Has he really been gone 25 years. : (
I was about to jump off the roof....I feel better after hearing this :)

re the comments about how British this is...the songwriter was an American, Cy Coben, born in Jersey City, NJ. He wrote a lot of comedy/novelty songs as detailed in Wikipedia and elsewhere.
Your right this is part of a musichall tradition that people on both sides of the Atlantic enjoyed during the 19th century and early 20th century.
j0nnyism A British Music Hall tradition. Tommy Cooper makes it his own.
Amazing Grace is a great African American spritiual, guess what? it was wriitten by a Methodist/ Anglican clergyman.He was English.
I beleive Mr Hansen is a traditional youtube smartarse!
mum has just planted petunias, jump in the lake, all heart and emotion from them kids of his, nowt changes does it,
Just imagine phoning the Samaritans and hear this when you're kept on hold.
Magic!
RIP Tommy.

Hope you’re ok Joe ♥️
