    Originally written as a piece for a musical, iirc, possibly with words.

    My wife taught his grandkid when we lived in North London. His ex wife, Diana Coupland (who sang Underneath The Mango Tree in Dr No) donated a James Bond picture that he had signed to a fundraising auction for the school. Roland Rivron agreed to be the auctioneer for the event and ended up bidding for it himself, seem to remember it went for a fairly decent price.

    I ended up winning another picture she donated, a promotional shot of Bless This House that she and Sid James had signed.
