"I hate the fecking song anyway; one of the draw-backs of living in Lancashire is having to wade the depths of mawkish tripe like this which is sung with great relish (however so innocent the racism) in folk clubs the county over."

Well said, Sweeney. This song makes me cringe every time I hear it, and not just because of the mention of Jews in such a fashion. "Mawkish Tripe" sums it up perfectly....
