Does anyone here know the joke/cante fable like that below? If yes, when was the earliest you remember hearing it? What tune did you use for the song? Are the words to the song different?

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

SINGING TELEGRAM CANTE FABLE

Mrs. Murphy. Mrs. Murphy. Telegram for Mrs. Murphy.

       Is this a singing telegram?

Well, ma'am. It's rather sad news.

      I've always wanted a singing telegram.

Well here goes....
dada, dada, da ,da

Your sister Rose is dead.
I'm here to tell you that she died in bed,
And even though the broad was feelin' great,
She'd just turned ninety-eight,
Your sister Rose is dead!
