What is the origin or purpose of this song
'I am Henry the eighth I am
Henry the eighth I am I am'
which I've heard in "Ghost" (the movie) but also somewhere else which I can't quite remember?

The song is older than 1965 as it was a Musichall, Variety act - oops, visited website above - 1911.

Henry is sung "'en-er-y" isn't it, in a strong Cockney accent?
As befits old music hall pronunication.
