Yeah, Leo, and we in turn learned it from the Bawdy Beggar Girls, a duet that no longer exists (Jacquie Manning went on to be half of Small Potatoes and Marilyn Middleton-Pollack went on to some degree of recognition performing on BBC shows). I do believe there is a known author, though, because we stopped singing it once I had found out who it was (copyrights, y'know). I then forgot completely.

Gee it's fun gettin' old.
