Subject: Tune Req: Can anyone identify this tune fragment?
Hello!

Here's a link to a refrain from a song my Mum remembers her grandfather singing: Mystery Tune

She thinks the lyrics were (phonetically) "eye-tee-eye-tee-illy oooh Tily, you'll have to marry me now".

For context: My great grandfather was an Edwardian from the East End of London. That's the only line my Mum remembers. It could have been corrupted over time. The only searchable lyric is "Marry me now" and that hasn't been very fruitful. It could be a music hall song or an old drinking tune?

Any help gratefully received.
