Well, now, this makes some sense. I was under the impression we were supposed to
sing this to "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad" (and why would our UK cousins
be such aficionados of Foster?) which wasn't working for me at all. In fact,
it's "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," which works infinitely better, though I'm
still not loving it. At least the first line falls in line with the way I sing
it.
