about

Chester Champion's theme tune - I envisaged this as being like the George Formby song "The Emperor Of Lancashire" or, rather, like my dim memory of seeing him perform it in a film, with lots of other characters asking questions and joining in with the descriptions, which is why the narration changes from Chester to other people as it goes along. In live performance I always try to do a LOVELY SMILE at the appropriate moment!

lyrics

They call me Chester, Chester
I'm not from Leeds or Leicester
I'm not from Bournemouth, Bath or Birmingham (no sir!)
I hear that London's very nice, and I like the Isle Of Wight
But I am Chester Champion, Legend Of Lancs!

Now if the planet is in danger
Call The Total Hero Team
They're marvellously strong and they can fly!
But if they've shut the factory
Or you cat's stuck up a tree
There's only one thing that the folks around hear cry:

They call for Chester, Chester
He's not from Leeds or Leicester
He's not from Bournemouth, Bath or Birmingham (no sir!)
We hear that London's very nice, and we like the Isle Of Wight
But we want Chester Champion, Legend Of Lancs!

He hasn't got the x-ray vision
But he's got a lovely smile
He's cheeky but he's got a heart of gold!

So if your chip pan is a-flame
Go on then, call my name
I'll come round and put it out and make the tea!

They call me Chester, Chester
I'm not from Leeds or Leicester
I'm not from Bournemouth, Bath or Birmingham (no sir!)
I hear that London's very nice, and I like the Isle Of Wight
But I am Chester Champion, Legend Of Lancs!
