"One teacher told us of how she found a class of small boys with their trousers undone, singing the song and giving it the indecent interpretation which, in spite of all the hullaballoo, is so obvious," an irate Mrs Whitehouse informed the Director General, Charles Curran, in a letter dated 1 January 1973.

"One teacher," Whitehouse wrote, "told us of how she found a class of small boys with their trousers undone, singing the song and giving it the indecent interpretation which – in spite of all the hullabaloo – is so obvious … We trust you will agree with us that it is no part of the function of the BBC to be the vehicle of songs which stimulate this kind of behaviour – indeed quite the reverse".
