The version I know goes: So is the old house Still in the same place? The same old pictures on the wall? Does father still wear the same old trousers Does mother wear the same old shawl Do you still keep a lodger in the top back room, the same old carpet on the floor, does the old tom cat still sleep upon the mat with the ginger cat that lives next door. And then, it went into this other part that went: Waloo waloo waloo malloo She had a fine tattoo Just like the ocean blue There was a man a silly man who followed her 500 miles to see if he could see the sea to watch the tide go out.
