It was a regular tune on Playschool and was performed by Johhny Ball and a few others no doubt. In fact, I'm sure they once made a hole out of tissue paper and Plasticine to illustrate the damn song...

Actually no - the version we sang was even more puerile:
"What do you do if you ne-ed the loo
In an English country Ga-ar-den?
You pull down your pants and suffocate the ants..." etc. etc. etc.
(or the alternative:
"You pull down your pants and fertilise the plants..." etc. etc. etc.)
I can't really claim either is a classic.
The Darkness have a new song called that. perhaps i should study the lyrics more carefully.

I've heard of it but ours only did the first three lines. I feel deprived.

Not non-stop but the amount of times they did it ensured it was never forgotten. A frined's sister made up her own neverending ditty to torture him with:
"....and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck and the needle stuck........" and so on.

Our version of "English Country Garden" was something like this:
"How many crows can you pick from your nose
In an English country garden?
I picked five and they all came alive
In an English country garden."
There was probably more, but I forget.

A solider I will be

Two pistols on my knee

For curiosity
I'll fight for my cu*t

I'll fight for my country.

No??
Ok.....

No that one does ring a bell actually.
Anyone remember the "Shine up your buttons with Brasso" song?
*Edit: Found it:
My Daddy's a lavatory cleaner,
He works down a deep sewage pit,
And when he comes home in the evening,
His hands are all covered in...
Chorus:
Shine up your buttons with Brasso,
It's only two-fifty a tin,
You can buy it or nick it from Woolys
But I doubt if they have any in.
Some say that he died of pneumonia
Some say that he died of a fit,
But I know what my Daddy died of,
He died of the smell of the...
(repeat Chorus)
Some say he is buried in gravel,
Some say he is buried in grit,
But I know what my Dad is buried in,
He's buried in two tons of...
(repeat Chorus)
