A guide to the Only Fools and Horses songs
You’ve booked tickets to see Del Boy and Rodders in the stage adaptation of the classic BBC comedy. Cushty. You know the characters, you know they’ll be millionaires one day, but do you know the Only Fools and Horses songs?
The romantic comedy musical (you read that right) has music and lyrics by Paul Whitehouse and Jim Sullivan, with a few well known numbers thrown in for good measure. Here's all you need to know about the Only Fools and Horses songs before you see the show.
All the Only Fools and Horses songs in order
Only Fools and Horses Act One songs
His name is Derek Trotter The show’s opener introduces our main protagonist and cheeky chappy, Derek Trotter - a.k.a. Del Boy. Sung by Cripps and the ensemble, we get an insight into Del’s dodgy dealings and questionable products.
Only Fools and Horses/Hooky Street
One of the most beloved TV theme tunes, Hooky Street, gives you a proper dose of nostalgia and puts you in the mood for a good ol’ Only Fools and Horses song and story.
Not Now Grandad
As the Trotter brothers quarrel, Grandad gets caught up in their arguments, when all he wanted was the TV remote and a cup of tea.
That’s What I Like
The ensemble number lists all the weekend sundries that equal a good life down the local pub with friends.
Where Have All The Cockneys Gone
Performed by Grandad, the oldest member of the Trotter family laments about the old days in the East End. The Girl When Del’s love interest, Raquel, makes her grand entrance, we hear of her hopes, dreams and disappointments - and that’s before she meets Del Boy.
Mange Tout
Del’s attempts to come across as educated, sophisticated and well-mannered are demonstrated in Mange Tout - a mix of Queen’s English, Del-French, cockney, and… other Delisms. It forms part of his dating profile.
Bit of a Sort
After Del has shown his best side, he lists all his wants in a partner. Essentially, he wants someone classy and, well, a bit of a sort.
Raining for Grandad
A poetic lament from Grandad about the little he has in life, but how rich he is thanks to his family.
Being a Villain
Introducing crime bosses, the Driscoll brothers, Being a Villain is a big, almost pantomime number that forms a parody of big musical tunes.
Lovely Day
Who doesn’t love the idea of Del Boy, Raquel and Grandad singing the Bill Withers classic, Lovely Day? It’s the perfect end to Act One.

Get to know the Only Fools and Horses characters
Potpourri! They’ve only gone and done it. Del Boy and the other Only Fools and Horses characters have made it to the stage, and one day, it might make them millionaires.
The lovable wheeler dealers have escaped the TV screen and fallen into a musical created by Paul Whitehouse and Jim Sullivan with the Only Fools and Horses songs composed by Chas Hodges and John Sullivan. The Peckham-based musical follows the hilarious and compressed story of the Trotter brothers and their misfit friends while they navigate get-rich-quick schemes. It hasn’t been on TV for over 20 years, so here’s a refresher on all the Only Fools and Horses characters. Lovely jubbly!
Who are the main Only Fools and Horses characters?
One entrepreneur, one plonker, and their elders. Meet the Trotters, the main Only Fools and Horses characters.
Del Boy
Lovable, ambitious, and a little bit deluded. Del Boy is a market trader from Peckham who’s constantly trying to make it rich. Between selling TVs that have fallen off the back of a van to new-fangled computers, he’ll try it all to make it out of his dishevelled flat. The head of the family, Del Boy lives with his little brother and grandad, taking full responsibility for their well-being and future. With unforgettable one-liners and catchphrases, he’s one of Britain’s most beloved characters and continues to be so on stage.
Sam Lupton takes on the iconic role of the cocktail guzzling geezer, having previously starred as the madly-in-love munchkin, Boq, in Wicked.
Rodney
The second in line at Trotters Independent Traders, Rodney is Del Boy’s little brother. Nervous and trying to be responsible, Rodney struggles with Del Boy’s finagling ventures but often gets roped in. But will his brother cause him to ruin his relationship with his soon-to-be wife Cassandra?
Just like Rodney, Tom Major is learning the ropes. Making his West End debut before he’s even graduated from drama school!
Grandad
The family’s elder, Grandad reflects on his life and the little he’s done with it. Living with Del Boy and Rodney, he often mishears them, leading to hilarious consequences.
Paul Whitehouse, the musical's co-creator, reprises his role as the loveable liability, Grandad. Swapping previous double act partners, Harry Enfield and fishing friend, Bob Mortimer, to share the stage with a younger pair of plonkers, the BAFTA-winning comedian revels as the retired navy officer.
Uncle Albert
After Grandad passes away, Uncle Albert moves in with the brothers. A bit more spritely and full of his own stories, he’s eager to make the most of the time he has left and joins in where he can.
