21 today

[wentwood]

does anyone know the lyrics to and origin of the song "21 today, I,ve got the key of the door" etc?

[Stephen_G]

"I'm twenty-one today!
Twenty-one today!
I've got the key of the door!
Never been twenty-one before!
And father says I can do what I like!
So shout Hip-hip-hooray!
I'm a jolly good fellow,
Twenty-one today."

[Jodakist]

I'm not sure if the song was written by Jack Pleasants, but he sang it on the Music Halls.

[Freddie]

It was sang by George Formby Senior, father of the GF that played the uke.

It has three verses and the chorus is:
I'm twenty-one today, twenty-one today,
I've got the key of the door, never been twenty-one before
and Pa says I can do as I like, Hip hip hip hooray,
He's a jolly good fellow, I'm twenty one today

The first verse I give what I remember and ... for gaps

I am all done with college life now I'm one of the boys

2nd verse ...Got excited and smacked a policeman's face!

I will be back as I remember more
