How grand to hear about this song. I performed it twice a day for two weeks each summer when I played with the Sadie Green Sales Ragtime Jug Band at the Knoebel's Park in Elysberg PA. I don't know where Tim and David learned this song. I found it was better to ask no questions. They sang slightly different lyrics but it was a real crowd pleaser. I have always associated it with those novelty tunes my father used to sing in the car. I remember "Lena is the Queena Palestina, Just Because She Plays the Concertina" and "Did You Ever Hear Pete Go Tweet Tweet Tweet on His Piccolo" Let's see you google those. Mike
