Jack Horntip	Origins: I Paula Taska Nonsense Song (Roud 12944) (40)	RE: Origins: Hi Politi Politaska (Roud 12944)	13 Jul 14
The Opies in _The Singing Game_ (1985) give the following round which they say was sung by members of The Holiday Fellowship before WW1: Hi politi politaska, polita, polito Hi politi politaska, polita, polito O Nicodemus O Sara numper O Nicodemusss, Sara numper, umper, umper Notice the "Sara numper" = "Sarasponda". A very early link with the "Sarasponda" song. I believe I have found an example in Dutch that antedates the song. .
