From Grieg, Peer Gynt, Hall of the Mountain King:

"Mother ran a knocking shop, knocking shop, knocking shop,
Mother ran a knocking shop in Fulham Palace Road ... "

or something more Melmothian: tune F. Couperin, 'Le Tic-toc-choc, ou Les Miauwetons':

Ermintrude the Famous Cat
Was taken to the laundromat,
She came out in ten seconds flat,
(Some problem with the thermostat).
Ermintrude the Famous Cat
Was taken to the laundromat
She went home in a picture hat
That most sartorial pussycat.

Ermintrude the Famous Cat
Went on a trip to Ballarat*,
She came home with a load of tat,
The sort you get in Ballarat;
Ermintrude the Famous Cat
Went on a trip to Ballarat,
She stopped for tea in Ararat
That wild colonial pussycat.

Ermintrude the Famous Cat
A d'ejeun'e a La Grand' Jatte,
She was the muse of George Seurat
That Pointilliste Pussycat;
Ermintrude the Famous Cat
A d'ejeun'e a La Grand' Jatte,
A tom went by and that was that,
A most flirtatious pussycat.

Andrew Clarke
Canberra
