Subject: RE: Kafoozalum???
Does anybody have the words to the old English rowing/rugby club version of Kafoozalum we used to sing back in the fifties. Seem to remember it started:

" As I was walkin' down the street, down the street, down the street, As I was walking down the street, I bumped into Kafoozalum"

Chorus was:

"Hi Ho Kafoozalum, Kafoozalum, Kafoozalum; Hi Ho kafoozalum, the harlot of Jersualum"

The some other verses about : "cocked her leg right over me", etc. etc.

Have a vague recollection that the tune (London Bridge) was used as a Morris dance at one time?

Anybody help with the verses?
