This was first sung (that I'm aware of) in the 60s on the Carol Burnett Show. When I was in jr high, I sang it in an SSA choral arrangement and I taught the same arrangement in the early 80s to a middle school girls group.
Unfortunately, in this era of political correctness, the song was lambasted two years ago when it was sung at a public school holiday program and a complaint was filed against the music teacher for her inappropriate programming. [It wasn't me - but I did write a letter to the editor defending the teacher! :)]
It's a fun piece!!
