Chris Coe sang a good version of this on the 'Bandoggs' LP - sadly no longer available, thanks to (spit) Celtic Music - but this won't have been the one that was heard on childrens' radio, which I suspect stems from the '50s, as there was certainly one played regularly in that decade.

Does anyone remember the parody that Dave Paskett used to sing in the late '60s, starting 'Oh, business executive, won't you marry me, with your brief case, brolly and your bowler hat...'? I used to have a recording of it, but can't now track it down. Quite brilliant!
