A good friend of mine sings this in a Music Hall show in San Francisco, and they sing "There's none so rare as can compare with the boys of the W.C." I don't know where they got this ending, and even the folks singing it don't really know what it might refer to. Any thoughts? Is this some sort of cockney rhyming slang? Did someone just get the lyric wrong?
