It was Ronnie Hilton, and Ronnie Hilton only. I have a copy on an album, and it's not dreadful, it's a wonderful children's song. It's a pity five-year-olds don't listen to more songs like this today instead of boy and girl bands singing about nothing other than sex.
Dont forget the Manfred Mann version in the 60s or was it the 70s? Anyway, I think it is a fantastic song, filled with imagination and sillyness and a nice tune too
