Further to my previous message of today (and after reading the very interesting "Matilda" correspondenc - I am new to Mudcat),
I print (for what they are worth) the words of parody I was singing
in Aussie c1963 (South Australia and on hitch-hiking travels through Victoria and NSW). I called it "WALTZING a bulldog", as opposed to "WALKING a bulldog".

Waltzing a Bulldog
(Dave Illingworth)

Once a jolly business man sat beside a lily pond
Under the shade of an old oak tree
And he sang as he watched and waited while his kettle boiled
You'll come a waltzing a bulldog with me

Waltzing a bulldog etc

Up came a bulldog to drink down by the lily pond
Up jumped the business man and grabbed him with glee
And he sang as he stuffed that bulldog in his briefcase
You'll etc

Up came the sergeant mounted on his bicycle
Up rode the constables one, two, three
Where's that jolly bulldog you've got in your briefcase
You'll etc

Up jumped the business man and jumped into the lily pond
You'll never catch me alive said he
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the lily pond
You'll etc
