My father used to sing this but only knew a few lines. And the words were slightly different It began with "There was a happy land, far, far away, where there was bread and cheese, four times a day. The refrain, as far as he knew it, was "Hark how the boarders yell, when they hear the dinner bell, Hark how the boarders yell, far, far away." I bet it's the same song, with a few changes.
