I wouldn’t call it that, though you might. Look up her recordings on YouTube.
A long time ago, I saw her perform at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London, sometimes with Scott and Dankworth ( that was a volatile relationship in the early days).

Get down on your knees, twiddle with your rosaries

who owe their small pensions to Werner Von Braun
Or the last line of National Brotherhood Week

And everybody hates the J–s (of whom he is one)
In the days before audio and video cassettes, the family had a pile of Tom Lehrer 78 vinyls. They probably got thrown out.

But during National Brotherhood Week,
National Brotherhood Week,
It’s National Everyone-smile-at-one-another-hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It’s only for a week, so have no fear.
Be grateful that it doesn’t last all year!

Fantastic actor, loved him in BMX bandits when I was a kid.
After seeing him in Gallipoli, I thought he’d be one of those aussie actors from the 80’s that could have broke into Hollywood. These days all you need is a 6-pack and an Aussie accent, back in the 80’s it was near impossible.
RIP
