This doesn't answer your question voyager, but the rhythm is well-know in the UK in more than one form. The 'shave & a haircut' part is often used for knocking on doors; I know it was familiar in WWII radio programmes, and 'two bits' would usually be knocked in response. Verbally, it goes 'How's your father?' -- 'All right!' |
