It's obviously important to you, as you've resurrected some very elderly threads in order to add the same message to each; but I should imagine that it was seen at the time either as self-evident and not worth mentioning; or irrelevant; or perhaps both.

Sad to say, I recall a parody of the parody that I picked up in childhood, probably via the Scouts.

There was an old woman of ninety-two
Parlez-vous
There was an old woman of ninety-two
Parlez-vous
There was an old woman of ninety-two
She knit some socks and away they flew
Inky Pinky Parlez-vous

The socks went flying down the street
Knocked a policeman off his beat

The socks went flying on to Rome
Found the King of Rome at home

The King of Rome was drinking gin
He opened his mouth and the socks flew in

The King of Rome is dead and gone
But still the socks go flying on.
