Origins: Give it to the Girl Next Door

Hi all,

Chas & Dave include a lot of choruses in their medelies, but I can't find the whole song for this one:
"
Give it to the girl next door, give it to the girl next door
She goes in for luxury, i don't want it no sirree
I don't want it, i told you so before
Take it away, take it away, give it to the girl next door"

It sounds like music hall, but I can't find the whole thing. Does anyone know if there is more to this?

Cheers, Dai Bones

This site only gives the chorus. I am looking for the original song, assuming there is more that is.

I've only come across it as an add-on verse for "Knees Up Mother Brown"

it’s one of the verses of Knees up mother brown the other one being

It’s coming by degrees, it’s coming by degrees
we’ve got the table and the chairs
everything the baby wears
Half a pound of soap to wash it’s dirty knees
we haven’t got the baby yet
but it’s coming by degrees
Oh my what a rotten song etc. etc.
