This is the first verse, followed by the chorus, with the 'dah dah dah' bit which follows the chorus, and is repeated until the singer remembers the next verse.
I've been doing this song for around thirty years... I usually chuck a few Uncle Joe's around the audience before we start singing! Yes - at least one ends up in someone's beer!
It's not very easy to represent in notation, as the words vary slightly (even between performances!), so this is a rough guide as to how the tune goes. It's up to you to figure out how the words fit!
