The young man in question could be just a little rough around the edges or he could be a brute, depending on your preferences or, of course, on the version under consideration.

My mother sang both this song and its male companion 'I wish I was single again'. Both were intended as a bit of fun, an exaggeration if you like. Like most ditties of this type it was sung with gusto by both sexes with little thought to modern PC sensibilities. I published her versions in 1982 and they are still being sung with the same spirit at singarounds locally today.

Some people might find my comment strange or think it was made just to draw attention to my insta (i left a link specifically so people don't think that I'm a bot or something like that), but that’s not the case — I’m genuinely moved by this thread and felt like sharing my thoughts. I’m glad there are still people here. It’s nice to see this place come alive again, even just a little.

Thank you for the answer, Helen :)

My favourite version is by Trapezoid.
