Yep, used to sing it in the East End (of London) pubs back in the late fifties, have been known to do it more reently too. Learnt it from a recording by Clancy Hayes. He was from San Francisco if my memory is correct and sang with either Turk Murphy's band or Lu Watters and the Yerba Buena Jazz band. It was on the Goodtime Jazz Label and I still have the 78. I'm sure it must have been re-issued.
Not greatlyrics but good for a rowdy drunken crowd.
