It's probably been stated in other threads but of course Yorkston's chorus is a straight rip-off of Geoghegan's. The first verse ends with the 2 lines Fresh cockles and mussels alive, alive, o Alive, O, alive O, Chorus: Alive, alive O! I call as I go Fresh cockles and mussels alive, alive O! There are similarities in the tunes but of course this could simply be both authors imitating the actual street cry.
