Since we're among matlows, does anyone know anything about this?

We are the boys of the old RAINBOW
We are the boys to cut a shine.
We spend our tanners,
We mind our manners,
We are respected wherever we go.
As we're walking down Esquimalt Road
Doors and windows opened wide
We can dance and we can sing
We can do the highland fling
For we are the RAINBOW Boys!

HMCS Rainbow was one half of the Canadian Navy in the years before WW1. The BC words given here are I suspect a parody or reworking of a British original. Does anyone know of such a song?
