This isn't a definitive answer, but the traditional line in pantomimes etc is 'Turn again, Whittington, thrice Mayor of London'.
He became a City alderman, or magistrate, in 1393. In 1397 the Mayor, Adam Bamme, died in office and the King chose Whittington to become the new mayor. He was re-elected the following year, and again for 1406-7 and 1419-20. This made him Mayor of London four times.
