GUEST,Chris Lyr ADD: Be I Berkshire? Be I Buggery! (25) RE: Lyr Req: Be I Berkshire? Be I Buggery! 25 Jul 21

I heard this version about 1965 from a groundsman at my boarding school in Somerset. I always thought he made it up on the spot, but I just heard that a version of it is traditional in the Royal Navy:

“Be I Zummerzet? Be I buggery?
I comes up from Fareham,
Where the girls wear calico drawers,
And I knows how to tear ‘em.”
