Gurney BS: Who's Bob? (57* d) RE: BS: Who's Bob? 12 Oct 15

Ebarnacle, it was sung by Cosmotheka in England, and recordings are available.

The chorus that I sang was slightly different because I got it from my Dad.
'The baby's name is Kitchener Gatacre Methuen Crondell White, Kronje Kruger Powell Majuba (somebody)Warren Colinza Buller Capetown Mafaking French Kimberly Ladysmith Bobs, Union Jack, fighting Mac, Luddite Pretoria Blobbs!'

Blobbs being the baby's surname. No-one joins in the chorus, though.
It is all about a patriotic christening at the height of the Boer War.
