Can anyone tell me what song Peter Sellers sang (and played ukulele) in the closing credits of this Channel 4 documentary shown over christmas?

 

It was a black and white clip, and he was singing what sounded like a George Formby song along the lines of "Saturday night on my settee, oh what a lovely place to be......".  If anyone knows what the song is, where I can  find the lyrics and if there is a link on the web for this - that would be fandabeedozee!

I didn't see the programme but your question brings a recording by Sellers to mind, viz., "New York Girls" with Steeleye Span on their album Commoners Crown (last track).  Won't help, but you may like to search it out instead (?)
Could it be "I haven't told her, she hasn't told me"? (And was he wearing a beatles wig?) The link I've posted isn't the "beatles" performance (which you can probably find in the Arena documentaries- somewhere- I just tried skimming through them but I know it's there somewhere...) Here are the lyrics (and ukulele chords):

However in the above video I believe he has his uke tuned slightly higher than standard (about 2 semitones?) and he plays Edim inbetween the transition from C to G7 (at the transition from the previous line to "I haven't told...me) and plays Dm6 alternating with G7 every two beats until the end of that line. Also at the bridge on the line "Mister" I think he plays E7 (4445) then goes back to D7 (2223). Anything else contact me at [email protected]
