As printed in the University of St. Andrews Students' Union Song Book (1958) & sung at St Andrews about that time, it had the chorus
Wake for the fal-lal-lal-lal-lido, Wake for the fal-lal-lal-lal-lido, Wake for the fal-lal-lal-lal-lay! To-morrow is a holiday.
Most of the stanzas are standard & pretty much as above, but the last one is
Whisky is the remedy For every kind of evil; But in the course of time, It sends you to the deevil.
A U.S. college version in The New Song Fest (1954) has this follow-up to the "runs & tells his mother" stanza:
The little boy who gets a kiss and runs and tells his brother Does a very useful thing, and brother gets another.
It also has three stanzas for skiers, and one for lumberjacks.
