Another novelty song that was around at the time, and stuck in my brain was the nonsensical ‘Mairzie Doats’, with the wonderful first verse:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy dive
A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?
Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?

Over the years I seem to have had a liking for novelty songs, there’s one or two to be found in this collection. Using Big Bill Broonzy’s intimation: “All the songs I ever heard are folk songs, I ain' never heard a horse sing”, here’s a few more kicking round in my head:

Spike Jones and the City Slickers, ‘All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth’
Max Bygraves, ‘You’re a Pink Tooth Brush, I’m a Blue tooth Brush’
Tommy Cooper;s, ‘Don’t Jump Off the Roof Dad’
and how could I forget the Goons ‘Ying Tong Song’.
