Trying to find a old song from my childhood

KemoSabe · 07-13-2016, 01:12 PM

I was wondering if anybody can help me.

I'm looking for a song that my dad use to listen to. Now if I could remember a line from the song, I would be able to Google it and get the song, but I can even remember one line. I know that this does not help at all and gives almost nothing to go on, but...

I know the song is old, maybe from the 60's or 70's maybe even the 80's, I think it could be sung by Rolf Harris or maybe Roger Whittaker but I'm not sure about that. The song is about a man that while walking one day finds ... (the song does not say what it is, but rather plays a tune "da da da" every time the man says what it is). He shows his kids, his wife but they all chase him away when he shows them. He eventually shows the local cop, who arrest him and drags him in front of a judge, with the same outcome that he is in more trouble because he has a .... (da da da).

The song never reveals what the man has, so that makes it difficult as well. It is a funny song though.

If anyone and recall a song like that or something similar I would be grateful if you can point me in the right direction

"You'll never get away with that bump-bump-bump." It's by Phil Harris and it's called "The Thing" It's from 1950.
