Robert W. Service? Aw, c'mon, Moira. He can't have written that one. That's a song kids made up, and it has been passed on through the kidfolk tradition.

Sorry I didn't believe you, Moira. I checked, and you were right. The Robert W. Service Home Page has it listed as one of his Twenty Bathtub Ballads (you gotta see this, folks) The Website doesn't have the lyrics posted yet, but apparently it's just a matter of time before they are posted there.
