Looking for the words to this song. Anyone know. Checked the DT with no specific luck. Lotsa songs with the word "Ham" in them. Any ideas anyone?

"Ham in the pan! Ham in the pan! Ham is good and sweet!"
"You stop that!" roared Ham Spink, and then, as a dozen boys on the dock took up the darky song....

When I was in Iran during the revolution food supplies were very limited.

Spam was available and so were vegetable pickles. Together with some sugar and corn starch they make a reasonable 'sweet and sour' stir fry.
