RFI: Old Comedy Sketch "There are only two things of which I am afraid" or something like that

All I remember is that there's some piano music, and I THINK the two characters have British accents, and one says something like "There are only two things of which I am afraid. One is nuclear war..." and then he winds up going into a very long soliloquy about the other thing of which he is afraid. But I'm very fuzzy on the details. I think I heard it on WFMU. That is all.

Sounds vaguely like the Steve Martin "If I only had one wish this Christmas..." bit, though different enough that it's probably not what you're thinking of.

Sounds like:

Austin Powers: Only two things scare me and one of them is nuclear war.
Basil Exposition: What's the other?
Austin Powers: Excuse me?
Basil Exposition: What's the other thing that scares you?
Austin Powers: Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know. Smell like cabbage. Small hands.
