Does anyone anyone else remember this song?

I sang when I was little, but google doesn't seem to know it! I remember this bit of it:

Whose eggs are these?
Whose eggs are these?
They're round and bott,
You can tell them by the spots,
And I found them in the vicarage garden!

Does anyone else remember this? Was there any more of it? DS is killing himself laughing at it (I have substituted 'eggs' with 'feet' and am waving them around as he rolls around on the floor!) but I can't remember any more words! Where is it from?

Search for 'Whose pigs are these?'

SueGeneris · 21/11/2018 19:10

That was in my very first recorder book but it was 'whose pigs are these?'

Bluesheep8 · 21/11/2018 19:10

Yes I remember the words as whose pigs are these!

Spudlet · 21/11/2018 19:13

Pigs? I wonder if I was meant to be singing pigs all along 🤔🤣

For a really big finish:
Whose pigs, whose pigs, whose pigs are these?
Whose pigs, whose pigs?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Whose pigs, whose pigs, whose pigs are these?
Whose pigs, whose pigs?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Sung to the music of the Hallelujah Chorus (ex-choirboy here).

We used to sing it in primary school 30 ish years ago!

wannabebetter · 21/11/2018 22:36

We used to sing
Who's tups are these
Who's tups are these
They're old Jack corn's
You can tell em by the horns
And we found em in the vicarage garden

I have no idea what a 'tup' is...Confused

Spudlet · 21/11/2018 22:41

A tup is a male sheep 🐏

No idea what the difference is between a tup and a ram, if indeed there is one. But I do know that tupping essentially means sheep sex.

I have heard John Tams sing the "whose tips are these" version.

BalloonSlayer · 22/11/2018 06:37

Tups!

I feel robbed! This was not in my recorder book at school, cool little ditty !!

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 22/11/2018 17:52

It can be sung as a round and it's in an old Primary school song book (from at least 35 years ago) called "The Jolly Herring."
