Default Memory Fail

Ever noticed how when you are walking, the tempo of your feet inflicts on the brain similar beats which in turn unearth long forgotten tunes?

Today, on my 3 mile walk for a paper, a flash of a music hall ditty went through my head. Or at least half of a ditty. I wonder if anyone knows the rest, if only to stop its elbows continually nudging my skull:

Don’t jump off the roof Dad,
You’ll make a hole in the yard.
Mother’s just planted petunias
.................................................. .
..................................................
.................................................. .
So don’t jump off the roof Dad
You’ll make a hole in the yard.

It’s the dotted bits that are driving me mad.

Thanks Alan, all the right words as well! Puts me in a better mood to read all the bad news in the paper.

Tommy Cooper sang it but I thought he had revived it from the TV show The Good Old Days (chaired by Leonard Sachs using the most preposterous words). It will now be a struggle to walk to get my paper without getting arrested for breaching the peace by singing it. Unconsciously of course.
