   Hi there! I know that this is nearly thirty years too late, and probably no   
   use to you now. However I couldn't leave someone hanging on something with an   
   answer. But I have the sheet music for two of these numbers.    
   The First Cigar is here (https://imslp.org/wiki/The_First_Cigar_   
   Grain,_Corney))   
   The World Went Very Well Then is here (https://imslp.org/wiki/Th   
   _World_Went_Very_Well_Then_(Andrews%2C_Bond))   
      
   All three are English music hall songs. Both Grain and Spurr was society   
   entertainers at the piano, which would see someone singing their own songs   
   accompanying themselves at the piano. Their material was mostly humorous   
   songs, however Spurr did partake    
   in some serious monologues at the piano. An entertainment that went back to   
   the Georgians period, it's still seen today without the name.    
      
   I hope they are some use to you. Thanks!   
      
   Very best wishes.
