Don,

I have been known to sing The Lion and Albert: it goes very well to the tune of My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool,
That's noted for fresh air and fun,
And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Went there with young Albert, their son.
Al-bert, Al-bert,
Went there with young Albert, their son, their son Al-bert, Al-bert,
Went there with young Albert, their son.


A grand little lad was young Albert
All dressed in his best; quite a swell
'With a stick with an 'orse's 'ead 'andle
The finest that Woolworth's could sell.
Wool-worth's, Wool-worth's
The finest that Woolworth's could sell, could sell.
Wool-worth's, Wool-worth's
The finest that Woolworth's could sell.


And similarly with all the remaining verses - about 8 minutes worth in all IIRC!
