They don't play a verse on the recording, but it comes from an era when verses were normally part of a tune. I used to play this with a Dixieland band in Glasgow, Scotland about 40 years ago. Without a DJML to turn to in those days, we made up an intro and verse that fitted the short chorus pretty well, but I've always suspected there was more to the tune than Condon recorded. If anyone has a lead sheet, I'd be very grateful, as I'll be struggling to remember what we invented back in the '60s.

I have Calancy Hayes ding it with Sutton and Tubs man Bob Short 
rollicking alng. I can't recall if he did the verse, but Clancy most 
often did.
