I have come across several versions in my collecting. One Hampshire version has the chorus:

Twas half past five in the morning in the middle of the night
The ducks began to quarrel and the pigs began to fight
The neighbours looked out of their window to see that all was right
For twas half past five in the morning in the middle of the night.

I also found a Gloucestershire version with much the same chorus. Has anyone found a similar chorus anywhere?
