The old Midnight Special radio program on WFMT in Chicago used to play a recording:

The Prime Minister to Persia Was a gentleman of France Very much in love with the Shah's pants . . .

It was more recitation than song, and very funny. Does anyone know who recorded it and if it's available? (I have all the words)

Thanks - this site is the most fun. I've filled in tons of blank spots in my song book from all of you.
