Everyone's a Fruit & Nutcase?

[Zephyer]

At work today I started to hum that TV advert tune for Cadbury Fruit & Nut - y'know "Everyone's a fruit and nutcase" Does anyone remember it? What where the lyrics? I'd love to see/hear that advert/tune again.

I remember the advert, not all of the words though:-

Everyone's a fruit and nut case

Crazy for those Cadbury's nuts and raisins

la, la, la, la, la, la

la, la, la, la, la, la

Cadbury's fruit and nut

It had a tune something like the sugar plum fairy.

Thanks everyone for your help - I found it and really enjoyed hearing that tune again - almost as good as a bar of Fruit & Nut!

Zephyer, what are the lyrics, it's got me going now!

[thikasabrik]

Not only is the song bugging me too, but it's driving me insane trying to think of who sang it. Was it that guy called Frank who had a minor speech impediment who used to be on Call My Bluff?

[tetherend]

Yes, it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rcrayner]

I can remember . . . .

city gents of concequence,

and blokes who dig the street up.

Frank Muir, former comedy partner of Dennis Norden

Thanks mortar. I was still racking my brains at 3.00am over that one!

well the lyrics that i can make form the advert go like this
everyone's a fruit and nutcase
it keeps you going when you toss the caber
what ever you are doing; puntiing, canoeing
its prodigiously proptious to be traditiciously be chewing
everyone's a fruit and nutcase
if only it could help improve my singing
for healthy recreation, not a combination
cadbury's...fruit...and...nut!!

have fun singing

[Cherylmcdaniel]

I too remember the earlier jingle where the second line is crazy for those cadburys nuts and raisins. There is a later jingle about canoeing but that's not the one I remember. I have been unable to link in to find the original lyrics. Can anyone help.

Thanks
