'Matchstalk Men' by Brian and Michael (I think).

The Status Quo is called 'Pictures of Matchstick men'.

It was a dreadful song, I thought I had it somewhere on vinyl, but my collection isn't as bad as all that (Manitas' consists of 2 Goon singles, a Yetties single, 'Gaudete', a Myles Wooton, something Flemish and 'Duelling Banjos'.....). The lyrics are probably not in the Digitrad.
