Lyr Req: Apple Dumplings

chorus -
"Apple dumplings! Apple dumplings,
Such a lot I put away.
Apple dumplings, apple dumplings,
I could eat them every day.
If they give me any other food, I'm full of growls and grumblings,
But I don't complain, I'm right as rain
With good old apple dumplings!"

Verses? tune for verses? origin?

I can't find it anywhere else, where did you hear it?

I heard it at a school 'Victorian' concert, in Diss, Norfolk, about 40 years ago. I've never heard it or seen a copy of it since. I think the duo(?) who performed it called themselves "Onion Jack." I do not know Whether they were an established group or whether they got together just for that occasion.

I do not remember any of the verses, except that there was one which told that instead of confetti at the wedding they all threw apple dumpling.
