In the 1970's the Variety Club of Great Britain held a party to celebrate Dean Martin's birthday.
Tommy was invited to do a  speech to commemorate the event. Here is that said speech relived.



Tommy stands

'Your Royal Highness, Chief Barker, fellow Barkers, distinguished guests and Ladies
and Gentlemen.

I'm not overacting am I?

Do you know I was walking down and err.'

Man starts cleaning the food off Tommy's table

'What second sitting?

We've all got to leave here in about ten minutes 'cos there's another lot waiting to eat.'

Looks at Dean

'Happy birthday to you, happy birthday

And also a great surprise it's someone else's birthday

It's a ladies birthday and she is 105

And she's here today she's sitting right over there with her mother

But do you know I'm so pleased that Dean Martin's here

Because, a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, I'll do it again, a-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Cos' I always remember I used to lie awake and think about the old Martin and Lewis
films - I bet he does as well

And when you think of those two it's amazing how things turn out

I mean Dean Martin has become an International star

Known all over the World

I often wonder what happened to the 'Iti' who used to do the singing!!

But I will say one thing he has surpassed everybody

He worked Vegas when there was only one Indian, Only one Indian who had a
'find the lady stand'

Then he did films, well he has done everything

And I think his career has proved many things

He left the very famous film partnership of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis to prove that
it was him who was dragging it down

Now I'm not going to tell any drinking jokes

Because he must be fed up with it

And I drink just for medicinal purposes

I'm sick of being sober

Someone said to me, 'Do you always drink whisky neat?'

I said, 'No sometimes I let my shirt hang out.'

I'm, ha-ha-ha-ha, you've got to laugh haven't you

I'm on a whisky diet

I am.......last week I lost three days

There was an Englishman a Scotsman and an Irishman and they were arrested for
being drunk in the street

So they said, 'I'll tell you what we'll do we'll give assumed names'

They said goodzzzzzzzz ideazzzzzz

So the Policeman said to the Englishman, 'What's your name?'

So the Englishman looked at the shops and he saw Marks and Spencers, so he said,
'MARK SPENCER.'

And he said to the Scotsman, ' What's your name?'

And he looked up and he saw Timothy Whites, so he said, 'TIM WHITE.'

And he said to the Irishman, ' What's your name?'

And he looked and he said, 'KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN.'

I'd like to show you a trick now It's the worst trick I've ever done, but I do it well.

And I think this trick is for Dean Martin as it happens to be suitable, GLASS-BOTTLE.....BOTTLE-GLASS. And in this glass I'd like to drink to your health - Cheers,
