Does anyone have the lyrics (and melody?) for the song entitled "The Christening of Danny McGrew"? It's a comical song about a boy who reaches his teens without having been christened. I've been told that it's been sung by Martin Wyndham-Reed but I haven't been able to find it anywhere. Thanks.

I know that it is an Australian poem and that I have it in a book somewhere. But where????
If someone else can post the lyrics before me ...please do

Otherwise I shall keep looking for the book.

Moral....never be tempted to tidy up ....I know where it used to be 8-)

Hugh, Pugh, Dan McGrue, Cuthbert, Dibble, and Grubb.
[With apologies to our friends in the US, who probably won't get the reference.]
Giok

Thanks guys! It seems that I got just about everything wrong ... the lad was only ten years old; his name was neither Danny nor McGrew; hence the title was also wrong!!! It's a wonder you knew what I was on about, Nutty!!! Thanks again.

It was Nuts, I call it poetic licence, my other half calls it senility.
Giok
