Traditional is John's description of the song.

The basis of my argument is that this is not and never could be traditional ... It's a piece of 50/60's smut. The type that was all the rage when I was a teenager.

It doesn't have the artistry of Tom Lehrer or Paddy Roberts.

My local Rugby Club had annual song competitions to see who could write the most disgusting 'folk' song, which might have seemed funny after 6 or more pints but in the cold light of day was better forgotten.
