My grandmother used to play this tune and sing
"oh the moon shines so bright on Charlie Chaplin his shoes are a crackin they need a blacken and his ole grey pants they need a patchin where he's been scratchin mosquito bites." "

This is the version my Grandmother and her sister sang when I was a child. Early 60's. My Grandmother was born in 1922 and was the youngest child in her family.
