Lyr Req: Jon Isherwood Songs

I'm looking for the lyrics to the 'Coca-Cola Song' which I think Jon wrote. The chorus went ' Well I have seen the Mona Lisa, The Leaning Tower of Pisa, Been to Rome and back again; But the only thing I know is that everywhere I go, The Coca-Cola always tastes the same.'
It was very popular on the Isle of Wight back in the '60s. Also a message to 'bubblyrat', I expect you found this out a while ago but the man who sang ' I'll get by with pie in the sky' etc, was Tony Callan who was a lecturer at Portsmouth Polytech. Those were the days!!
Kind Regards,
Andy
