My Dad used to sing that.
Leadfingers tells us that they were introduced in '27, but as you suspect, the great push came during the blackout.
I believe that cats eyes were introduced at about the same time.
Dad's words were almost the same, except that he used to sing, "it will lead you in the dark 'round the benches in the park"
