Lyr Req: bawdy 'Valencia?'

In another thread someone mentioned offhand a bawdy lyric titled (I think):

VALENCIA

Stick your head between your legs [or knees]
And whistle Barcelona [or whistle up your Barcelona].

I've had no luck finding it. Does anyone know more of the words?   And what tune is used? Is it a parody of the 1925 Boyer/Charles "Valencia" translated from the De la Prada/Jose Padilla Spanish original? --

Valencia, in my dreams it always seems I hear you softly call to me ...
You loved me in Valencia long ago, we found a paradise of love.

Or is it either of the two "Barcelona" songs -- Donald Bestorp/Marvin Lee's 1911:

Fair maid of Spain, hear my refrain,
Soon I'll return to you again ...

Or maybe more likely the 1926 Tolchard Evans-Gus Kahn kidding song, amusing enough to quote at some length:

I'll marry the Belle of Barcelona
In beautiful Spain, I think it's in Spain,
I like it so well in Barcelona,
That's where I'll remain, I guess I'll remain,
There ev'ry night I'll serenade her,
I've bought a second-hand guitar,
If to elope I can persuade her,
We'll take along her father's car,
I'll marry the Belle of Barcelona,
She loves me I know, for I told her so.

Or is it something else completely? (The tune of Yankee Doodle fits, too.)

Thanks, Bob

Sorry can't help with more words, my brother-in-law never got past the "stick your head between your legs and whistle up your arse"

Don't know the name of the tune either but it is well known from an Italian opera I believe, where the chorus goes something like:

Funiculee Funicula, Funiculee Funicular erc etc.

Probably no help at all.

No chaps, they're two different songs. Valencia is one(stick your head between etc...) and the other, with the funiculi funicula chorus is the one parodied as "I'm one of the nuts from Barcelona, I play the guitar, outside a bazaar..."
The Jameson's precludes being more informative just now.

Vulgar Boatman,

When you have time, do you know any more of the bawdy Valencia? That's what I'm after. Thanks. Bob

My saucy father taught me to sing "Valencia, stick your head between your legs and whistle up your 'oh' Valencia"

I always knew it as "Stick your nose between your toes and smell your sweaty feet"

My dad taught me too! Stick your head between your legs and whistle up your bum (probably being polite) Valencia. I don't know any more.

"Valencias! Stick your head between your legs and whistle up your Barcelona!"
That's all I can remember.

Cheers

I was taught the following:
Excelsior, stick your head between your knees and whistle up your bussel.
That's as much as I know

The shades of night were falling fast,
As through an Alpine village passed
A youth, who bore, 'mid snow and ice,
A banner with the strange advice
Excelsior! Stick your head between your
Knees and whistle up your bussel
