According to 'Sing Us One of the Old Songs: A Guide to Popular Song 1860 - 1920', by Michael Kilgarriff, which is the bible for those wanting details on music hall songs, it was jointly written and composed by Fred J. Barnes and Robert P. Weston, published in 1909. Definitely in Billy Williams' repertoire - and not in Harry Champion's.

Can't find anything about 'When Papa Put the Paper on the Wall', though.
