My Dad, Stanley Rimmer, was evacuated to Beaumaris with the Bluecoat School during the second world war. He used to sing this song to us and to his granddaughters:

Why did you join the Bluecoat Boys?
Why didn't you join the army?
Why did you join the Bluecoat Boys?
You must have been bloomin' well barmy!
Kippers and jam, kippers and jam
Make your tummy go wiggly wam
Kippers and jam, kippers and jam
Make your tummy go wiggly wam
