I heard this version in 1970 in Melbourne (Australia, not Florida!). "big hairy Tassie" gives it away as Australian: Tassie is Tasmania in colloquial Australian and the map of Tasmania is... the map of Tassie! en.wiktionary.org/wiki/map_of_Tassie Now for what I can remember of the song. 1. Along came the lassie with the big hairy Tassie who was holding the dressie for the whole world to see. 2. Along came the mannie with the big standing uppie who was going to fuck le lassie with the big hairy Tassie who was holding the dressie for the whole world to see 3. Along came the mannie with the big glassie-glassie who was going to spy on the mannie with the big standing uppie who was going to fuck the lassie with the big hairy Tassie who was holding the dressie for the whole world to see 4. Along came the mannie with the big starrie-starrie who arrested the mannie who was going to spy on the mannie with the big glassie-glassie who was going to spy on the mannie with the big standing uppie who was going to fuck the lassie with the big hairy Tassie who was holding the dressie for the whole world to see The song was accompanied by gestures: 1. "hairy Tassie": turn around as if holding up dress and displaying the "map of Tasmania" from all angles 2. "mannie with standing uppie, fuck the lassie": self explanatory! 3. mannie with glassie-glassie: adjusting an imaginary eyeglass as if looking in the distance 4. describe a circle around imaginary policeman's star and grab man from behind by the shoulder
