I heard this again recently, but all I've found on the web is a mention of Bert Cleaver singing it at a Morris Feast in 1959.

Tune is Oh Dear, What Can The Matter Be, and chorus is (roughly)

Oh Dear, What can the matter be
Trouble's a-brewing away down in Battersea
Twenty-four coppers got beat up last Saturday
Down at the Suicide Arms

Anybody remember the verses?

WassaiL! V
