I represent Uncle Floyd. (I get alerts when his name is mentioned so I found this thread.)

It's true, Floyd doesn't use a computer. I handle his online business.

Regarding the song, Floyd's background is burlesque. He probably heard "Cabbages and Peas" on a burlesque LP. I'm sure I have it in my collection, but I'm not sure which album it is and I don't feel like digging it out. This would have been a record released in the late 1950s or early '60s.

Meanwhile, check this out:
