Dear Dave,
"The music and lyrics were written by James Joseph White and the copyright of the music and lyrics was held by him until his death. The copyright then was inherited by his relatives. The copyright of the jingle is registered with A.P.R.A (Australasian Performing Right Association Ltd)."

Here are the words & music regarding "Louie The Fly" - an Australian icon.
Whether you want them or not.
