Lyr Req: If I were a vulture

Does anyone know all the words to this parody of "If I were a blackbird"? As sung by Renee in the Middle bar at Sidmouth: it's hilarious and rather rude, but not I think, too rude to be posted or censored!
Chorus goes:
             If I were a vulture, I'd circle and spin,

             I'd follow the milk-cart my love's riding (driving?) in

             And if ever I catch him with one of his tarts

             I'll fly down and gobble his masculine parts.

Can't remember any more!

It was written by the late "Auntie" Beryl Offredy, who was a member of Herga, but I haven't got the words... Trayton might be able to help though.

This is the kind of song that makes men nervous...

Thanks Kitty. I could always write to Renee as she gave me her address (and promise to send words, but hasn't!)I in turn said I would send her pics of her last year's rendering of same song, but haven't yet! Will be sending same pics to TD at MBS.

Especially milkmen, Joe.

Broadly, Tinker.
