Normally I spend quite a long time checking up on the clues for the quizzes I do. The song I was looking for was Vive L'Amour which is a standard version of "The Animals Went in Two by Two with the chorus from the French drinking son of the same name. Your N is correct.
With apologies |

Vive la compagnie is (in this case) only the last line of the main chorus, and 2nd & 4th line of each verse Nigel (This entry labelled Add: as I didn't flag the added verse in the other thread.)

As far as I know there are three standard "Animals went in two by two versions.The one based on Vive la Compagnie(Amour, plus the "Johnny Comes marching home" one and the "One more river" one. I have experienced all at various campfires, school singsongs ete etc. |
