It's a lovely tune. I've never performed it as I don't have a set of lyrics I am happy with. I've always felt there should be a pre-Bedward set of lyrics but never found them.

I like Invader's version a lot, which is really a picong against Houdini ("And he won it with Sly Mongoose") who had the cheek to enter, and win, a New York calypso competition with this venerable song.

Here is a brief clip of someone playing it on a bamboo saxophone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taEnME5_-Ts
