The 06 question, what tune is it.
Nearest I can get is 'The Jolly Tinker' (Irish version)
Twas down a shady lane I walked, at a door I chanced to knock,
Is there any pots or kettles here with rusty holes to block?
Oh, indeed there is, don't you know there is,
To me right faloora laddie, aye, indeed there is. (or something like.)

Also used for Clifton's 'Hot Asphalt' which may be what Tommy had in mind.
