Dave Diamond is a mudcatter. Just sent him an e-mail, maybe he'll post the original version. Can't see many changes in Charlie Noble's version from the way I remember it though.

Dave has a little gem called (I think) the Dave Diamond Songbook with a number of gems including The Bold Consulting Man and The Lifeboat Man. He writes really good stuff.

We used to both be computer types (he still is), and I loved a recitation he wrote that began "In the beginning was the specification, and the specification was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the programmers."
