I'm getting ready to put the humorous Esperanto song "Jukajdi Jukajda" by Raymond Schwartz in La Lilandejo and am trying to find out more about its origins (both as to tune and as to text). The tune is basically the same as the French scouting song "Youkaïdi" but Schwartz's lyrics are much more "adult" (the song is not at all politically correct, but promotes tobacco, booze, sloth, and making it with your friend's wife, all very lightheartedly of course). I'm wondering if there are "[im!]mature" lyrics in French that might be closer to Schwartz's text. Also, according to the record insert (from the 1964 LP Ni kantu en Esperanto) the tune is Swedish, but I've been unable to verify that. Any Swedish leads will be most welcome. Also English lyrics (scouting or otherwise).
