Desperately Looking for information on the following song and much obliged if anyone could help;

Little Tommy Tucker

I would if I could, I'd like to be good
I'm not that type of a girl.
You know what its like to be looked over twice,
You know honey baby that its not very nice.
You've had your chances at dinners and dances,
Everyone knows you're a flirt.
You used to hang around with little Tommy Tucker,
Everyone knows he's a dirty little f***er.
Hanging around on his ice-cream cart,
I'm not that type of a girl!

Heard a few years ago from an elderly lady called Lily Caffrey singing in a pub in Dublin. Thanks in advance!
