I thought I'd asked for this before but couldn't find it when I checked my threads, I probably committed the cardinal Mudcat sin of mentioning it in a thread on something else.
It's a song that was played on UK radio in the 1950s in a similar vein to "Cigareets and whusky and wild wild women",in a pseudo hillbilly style. Not, I think, by Spike Jones but in a similar raucous way. I'll post below the chorus and one verse I "remember" and the start of the second verse. In italics I'l put my own ending for the second verse (just to prove I'm no threat to Ira Gershwin). I'd be glad of the real words to verse 2 and any subsequent verses (and any corrections to my memory). Just another of those songs that buzz round my head all the time!

THEY'RE BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE I WUZ BRUNG UP IN

Chorus: They're burning down the house I wuz brung up in
They're yellin' "Come on out and meet yer bride"
They're burnin' down the house I wuz brung up in
But I would be a fool to go outside

Verse 1: There's her pappy by the door with a loaded .44
He's yellin' " come on out or else I'll shoot"
I don't know if he knows
I've got on hisSunday clothes
If he fires it'll be goodby to Pappy's suit

Chorus

Verse 2: There's her brother by the gate
With a loaded .38
He's yellin' " Come on out, let's git yer wed"
But I don't fall for that trick
'Cause he's known as Deadeye Dick
And If I show myself he'll surely shoot me dead
