Didn't want to jump in the other thread but CLKD's comment 'We are allowed 1 wallow a week ;-)' did make me laugh.
Anyone know the hippopotamus song?

Mud, mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
And there let me wallow in glorious mud

So the image of CLKD wallowing in mud once a week  ;D

I'll go for the Red Sea mud as long as I can go to the Red Sea to get it  :). Lambs are fine thanks, bouncing around after Mum. I think it might be older than we think. My Dad used to say it to me when I was small, he had a repertoire of silly poems from his own childhood. He was brought up in the 1920s.

Written by Donald Swann in 1957.  They were on 'Children's Favs' a lot.  Uncle Mac any1 ?

Did U see all those in the Dead Sea today, naked? for a photo shoot?

It's recent then, I wondered if the lyrics had come from an earlier poem. I missed the naked photo shoot. Anything good?  ;)

Compared to the likes of Edward Lear's nonsense poems 1957 is definitely recent  :)

I've had a look on Songkick and it seems that Flanders and Swann based the chorus to Glorious Mud on Beer Beer Glorious Beer which was written in 1895 by a music hall duo. Maybe that's why you thought it was older sheila?   :)

That's interesting, I hadn't heard the beer version. I think I just assumed it was older because his other rhymes were.
