Thanks for your interesting thoughts Everyone
So, prior to the 1960s, I guess that nobody has much more firm info, except suggestions gleaned from the words in the song.
It certainly sounds like a music hall song to me but we don't seem to have any evidence in support of that.
Any further thoughts?
