Series 5, Episode 1 - They Don't Write Songs Like That Anymore
Sid and Trevor get their thinking caps on when Sally points out a pop song writing competition in the paper - with a top prize of £3,000. Sid penned some dirty ditties in his youth, so this'll be a breeze!
Sid's Song
I love Bertha Brown,
She's the biggest girl in town;
It's her bust that made the fellas all turn 'round.
It's a pity she's lopsided,
It's the way that they're divided;
One weighs nothing and the other weighs 10 pounds.
