My dear Friend David O'Connor recorded the song during the 70's and had a cute second verse which my son and every other child loved.

the second verse- Mama would you buy me an orange- pronounced as a five year old would- a noringe.
next time round there was a single line of would you buy me a watermelon- sung only once- was immediately followed by a loud 'NO'.

David has been living and working in Mongolia for the last few years - why not say Hi.
