I remember this song from a while back in a banned MGM cartoon. They don't show it anymore. But the song still lives on, despite the ban.

Great to hear this song, but the definitive version is by the great Frank Crumit.

I recall my sainted Mummy singing this song to the wee 5 off spring. We thought it hilarious.

Star Trek The Next Generation brought me here

When I was very young and we traveled around the country as my dad was employed in building the interstate highway system he would sing this and many other songs that are now lost to time. What a wonderful time it was, when I started school and my older sister was already in school, we had to stay home. We would wait for dad to get home late Friday night, mom would let us stay up to see dad. He would have to leave early Sunday afternoon to get some sleep and work the next week. To this day I don't enjoy doing things on Sunday because I feel it will end too soon,,,, and I am 60 years old????

I think of all the versions I like this one the best. Wonder if it's available on CD? Thank you for posting this really nice piece!

My grandpa used to sing this to me when I was a lot younger. Real epic song!

Martin White

I'd almost forgotten this gem of yesteryear, was it some kind of propaganda from Persia or Russia? I recall my older brother singing it.

I came here because I heard Lore sing this song in Star Trek Next Generation.

Robert Findley

He left quite a few verses out, but in terms of his singing this is the best version I've yet found of this song. Delightful!

Joel Mattews

My Dad always sang this song. He is now 92

I have tapes of this singer, but not of this song, that I heard as a child, thanks for the memory. :)

dunngar

actually Lore sings it

IMSE15

Lore sings it not Data ;)

Liam Keyes

This is a spoof on the Russian-Turkish conflict. Actually it had another 6 or seven verses but as Brendan said one time, it had to be trimmed down for the sake of Brevity with out losing the heart of the story. Resi In Peace Brendan,

I knew absolutely nothing about this song until I saw it sung on Star Trek:TNG.

Kevin Creaton

This is the first published song by Percy French. He wrote it while a student at Trinity College in Dublin in 1877, and sold it for 5 pounds when short of money. Anyone interested should go to Wikipedia, enter the song title for all the lyrics and Percy French for his story.
