Over valley and hill there is no finer thrill

Last night, I managed to reduce secutatrix, liriselei and andykittie to a spluttering heap with a single sentence. I am very proud of this.

However, it seems the reason I managed it is that they were deprived children.

They never had sung to them the song about The Hole In The Elephant's Bottom.

That's the only version I can find online, which is not the version I know - it's quite like it, but it's missing the chorus, and the words, though broadly similar, are not the same.

Note for the mother: do you have a recording of F&F singing it anywhere ?

Update: and if anyone can tell me how to get the mp3 to work properly under Firefox, I'd be grateful. It's not like I particularly want to listen to it, just that it's annoying that, despite me having the correct version of QuickTime installed, it doesn't work.

It wasn't F&F, it was Pete Thompson but I think I can remember all the verses and will e-mail them. The chorus is of the Ay yay yay yi variety.

Those of use who did proper Latin (GCE, unseens syllabus circa never mind when) had no problems with the above.

Aye, I always get all those people called Pete muddled up :(

I can remember the chorus (and some words), I was hoping to be able to inflict it on other people without having to make them listen to me singing :)
