Aha!

I've been looking for the lyrics of this song for years. I heard it sung on television, and it has stuck with me ever since. Further research has indicated that it was probably sung on a programme called "The Five Foot Nine Show," broadcast on 31 January 1964 (I was eight), and (if I know the Beeb) never repeated and wiped as soon as someone needed the tape. Amazing how things stick in the mind, isn't it?

Nice song :: shame about the Beeb.

Very reminscent of JT Edson's "School Swot" series of paperbacks.
