also about the song....a lot of people who sing it these days hold the note on 'aft' ...

"dabtoes forward and the dustmen affffffffft"... for 4 beats.......

but when Tawney was here in Wash DC, USA about 17-18 years ago, he profesed surprise...said he sure didn't write it that way:meant it to be sung with just a normal beat..not that he was upset, just bemused...
