It's the same tune as the song kids sing at school about the parachutist...

"The man who packed the parachute forgot to pack the string...." Maybe no help to anyone but I can't think what the actual song is...

That's the bunny - there were many verses and I guess they'd differ slightly acrosst he country but yeah....

Oh, and in the Arsenal song, after the hearty F*CK OFF the tune changes to a completely different one, just to confuse matters....

I remember it as hymn number 26 in Come and Praise at primary school, but I'm sure I'll be the only one who does.

I've just had a vision of your school assembley - 500 kids singing "they scraped him off the runway like a dollop of strawberry jam...."
