Just on the point of posting off the words when I see that they have been posted above.
Ian Campell did write it but if I can remember correctly it is called The Apprentice Song.
I heard it done by Harvey Andrews and to my mind that is the best version I have heard.
I used to do that version when I sang it.
Many years ago I met a great guitarist called Al Lawrence - anyone remember Al ?? He played several times at our clubs and I sang this song at one of them. I gave Al he words but I never herd him sing it. Mind you he was mainly an instrumentalist and I remember he did a great solo on guitar of The Entertainer.
