... doesn't shine and it's cloudy and grey,
and it's only the beginning of a wombling day
and you've got to do the washing up for Madame Cholet;

Remember, Remember, Remember, Remember,
Remember, Remember, Remember,............

The one that I can never shake free (and no I didn't have to look this up) is:

Back in 1780 when Bulgaria was a lad
They were minuetting in the morning
In the evening they were minuetting mad
Mr minuetting Mozart was the talk of the town
But forgetting to be minuetting was letting the other minuetters d-own

So Wombles to your partners
Young Wombles were told
If you minuetto allegretto
You will live to be old

From the first album I was ever bought way, way back in the 70's (1970s not 1770s!)

I was tossing up between the 2.
Minuetto allegretto has the saving grace of being part of Mozart's 41st symphony. Which takes me onto Mannfred Mann's earthband and "Joybringer" [Holst - Jupiter from the Planets Suite] Any more classical plagiarisms, anybody?]
