What a blessing for the Mudcat that Guest Eliza is now a full-fledged Mudcat Member, though her Member name had to be ... different than "Eliza."
I just did a quick and dirty Google search on this lyric. One Englishman reminiscing on a UK page recalls being a little boy before 1940, and when he and his siblings were driven to school first thing in the morning by an uncle, said uncle dropping the children off on his way to work,
they would sing during the drive
we're off we're off we're off in a motor car Twenty Bobbies are after us And we don't know where we are
so this ditty has been around for quite some time.
