Our school rugby team used to sing this in the early 70s but I remember it as "A long strong black pudding up my sister's crack". This was, perhaps, a truncated version because Stocktonians had a shortened memory-span due to the neurotoxins belched out of Billingham and Haverton Hill.

I first heard it on a 78 rpm record in the mid 1950s. It was black-market only and attributed to Danny Kaye

Early eighties, Norwich Folk Festival - could the duo have been Mr Gladstone's Bag? John Watcham and the late Mike Cifton, also members of Albion Morris, sang mainly Victorian Music Hall songs,but their repertoire was wide enough to have included this.

Swan Arcade used to substitute "orifice" for "Arsehole" and didn't use the "twice nightly weather permitting" part, concluding with the "sideways" in a falcetto voice.

I heard (and sung, with relish) Rob Naylor's version in the early 80s at Norwich Folk Festival. I can't remember who led it, although a duo who specialised in music hall songs and whose name escapes me might have been the perpetrators.

The version I heard/learned was from GRIMM in the late 70s, and was similar to the above but ended with; "up Margaret Thatcher".
