Dear Dave,

Here are some links from the Lester Levy collection:

Click here to see the words for the 'polite' version of the song.

Click here to see the 'Gentlemen's' version.

On my search results page, there is a song listed as 'I'm The Man That Wrote Ta-Ra-Ra-Boom-De-Ay', date of publication given as 1891/2. I would assume, therefore, that the original song was written prior to that year.

Best of luck, Áine
