Foolestroupe, your story touched me. So I looked at the chorus and put it into an alternative search engine which came up with the following sad, solemn, slow and appropriate song which incredibly has a similar chorus to the one you heard being sung.


Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da
Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da

My friend was in 'is wheelchair
For 'e 'ad no legs to walk
'E'd 'ad a few to many
'E couldn't even talk

Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da
Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da

My friend was in 'is wheelchair
Too blind drunk to see
A bus t'was fast approaching
An' it were 'eavier than 'e


Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da
Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da


My friend was in 'is wheelchair
E'd forgot to check the power
The bloody thing stopped in t'road
An' t'bus did run 'im 'ower

Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da
Dum de dum, de diddly de dum dum
Fol di fol di fol di ra di da

My friend ain't in is wheelchair
E's behind the pearly gate
E's angel wings an everything
An' the pubs stay open late
