Anyone remember "Never Do a Tango with an Eskimo"?

"You can do it with a sailor from Peru or Venezuela,
You can do it with a gaucho from Brazil.
But once an Eskimosy tries to cuddle up so cosy,
You can bet your life you're gonna get a chill!"

Why do trivial lyrics stick in our memories for decades when far better ones can be so much hard to learn? The only answer I can offer is

"Ee, ah, ooh-ah-ah: ting, tang, walla-walla bing bang!"

Wassail!
