I think it goes something like this: One short day to work and play then white butterfly, now beneath the roses I'll say good bye.

Without more to go on it won't be found with the info you've supplied.

1) Where do you remember it from?
2) When do you remember it from?
3) Was it a single singer, duo, trio, etc?
4) What country are you in?
5) What instruments were with it?
6) Do you have any other phrases?
7) What research have YOU done so far to locate it?

Thank you.

Surely not Bing Crosby ;-). Nice surrealism; can only lose when turning out a mondegreen. If you post the tune fragment as ABC text, people might recognize the melody.
