NOTES [50 words]: I suspect this is a worn-down version of "Slap Bang, Such Jolly Dogs Are We," but they're different enough that I am very tentatively keeping them separate. I don't actually know what song Averill is referring to by this title, but the text quoted here seems to be the one found in camp songbooks. - RBW
