A recent thread on "Horsey, Keep Your Tail Up" Here, which was a song my dad used to sing to us years ago, reminded me of another song which he told us his father used to sing; it sounds like an old music-hall song.


Oh Jemima, look at your Uncle Jim,
He's in the duck pond, learning how to swim.
First he does the sidestroke, then he does the crawl.
Now he's under the water, doing no stroke at all!


Does anyone else know the song? And is there any more to it? I couldn't find any help in the DT.

Thanks for any helpful suggestions,

Matthew.
