You can't holler down our drainpipe

Can anyone please help my poor old Mother who is being driven slowly mad (so am I) because she can't remember the name of the song or the singer that contains this lyric. I would be more than most grateful for a reply!

My mum used to sing this to me .....

I don't wanna play in your yard
I don't like you anymore
You'll be sorry when you see
Swinging on my own back door
You can't holler down my rain barrel
I won't climb your apple tree
I don't wanna play in your yard
If you won't be nice to me.

I did a search and found a song sung by Peggy Lee with almost identical lyrics http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/i/idon twanttoplayinyouryard.shtml

Joolslee, thankyou so much. We had an idea it was by Peggy Lee but couldn't find it anywhere. You 've no idea what effect this will have on my ability to sleep! Thanks again!
