When you were in pictures
You had us in stitches
Sad eyes that sang

With your hangdog sneer
Respectable veneer
And Edinburgh twang

Alastair Sim
We all love where you’ve been
St Trinians
Ebenezer

Ronnie Corbett’s choice
Was to say you had the voice
Of a fastidious ghoul

When you played Miss Fritton
Everyone was smitten
And the same with Scrooge

Alastair Sim
We all love where you’ve been
St Trinians
Ebenezer

Alastair Sim
I loved you in
An Inspector Calls, The Green Man
And Geordie

So let’s raise a gin
To Alastair Sim
Not a carnival,
Man of distinction and glory
What a story
Alastair
