Thanks PolygonWrangler. I still remember it best as a novelty song from my youth, at the beginning of the 18th century - or at least that's how long ago it seems.

I remember it more as a popular tune from when I was kid, Garry - sooooo oooooold, dammit. It's the sort of tune that you are ashamed to admit you know about - a bit like the 'I saw a Mouse on the Stair' (a little mouse with clogs on no less) song, that hopefully you've avoided.
