Well, I have to 'fess up. I don't *know* that they're the words. It
was a poem mentioning it in the first line, and it pretty much scans
to the verses and chorus, so I presume it might have been period words
to the song. I *could* assert it's as much the words as "The
Star-Spangled Banner" are the words to "Anacreon in Heaven".
Alas, I don't think I have a copy of the full poem. I only remember
the first verse and part of the chorus:
The first catch was Sellinger's Round
The cow jumped over the moon
The good wife shit in the piss pot
The cream ran over her shoon
<line> <line>
I'll give you another as good as the other
If you'll be ruled by me
The other verses are as bad.
I repeat, emphatically,
>You DON'T want to know the words to Sellinger's Round ...
