In NZ, this song is known as "How would you like to be me?" Sung to 'Villikins and his Dinah', with similar verses to those above and the chorus going:

Too-roo-loo, too-ra-lee,
How would you, how would you like to be me?


There is also a version transcribed in Ginette Dunn's "Fellowship of Song" (1980), called 'Joe Moggins'.
