There's an English music hall version, Shine Your Buttons With Brasso, which may predate this. It was recorded by John Roberts and Tony Barrand on their album "Spencer the Rover is Alive and Well and Living in Ithaca", which dates from the early 70s and is marvelous. A similar effect is used in Sweet Violets, and, I'm sure, many other songs, some clean and some not.
