The version (of the variant) I heard was:

Some die of drinking whisky
And some of drinking beer,
Of die of constipation
And some of diarrhoea,
But of all the world's diseases
There's none that can compare
To the drip drip drip of the septic prick
And they call it Gonorroea.

By the bye.
Does anyone have any ideas why the tune changed in the mid 19th Century?
