I heard a song at a scout camp and would like to find the lyrics, one verse went along the lines of:

to market to market to buy me a cow,
to milk it to milk it i didn't know how,
i pulled on it's tail instead of it's teet'
and all that i got was a bucket of..
12345678910, 10987654321
12345678910, 10987654321
he he, ha ha, ho,ho

Unfortunately I cannot rmember any more and it's really annoying me.
Can any one help?
Thanks

This also occurs as a stanza of "Mademoiselle from Armentieres":

||: The maid went out to milk the cow,
    Parley-voo :||
She pulled on the tail instead of the tit,
And all she got was a bucket, etc.
    Hinky, dinky, parley-voo.
