Sincere thanks to Tom for taking the trouble to contribute what must be the definitive version of this song.
I don't think we'd ever have got it completely correct trying to transcribe it. For example, "bog off on starches" turned out to be "Dog of Mon-tar-gis" - who'd have guessed that?
Thanks again, Tom.
