I've been singing those few lines from a late 50's / early 60's song since I was a kid and I'd really like to find the rest of the lyrics and/or title. Someone had once suggested that it sounded like something Harry Belafonte might have sung but, from what I can recall (very vaguely at this point), I'm pretty sure it was a female group and I don't recall any accent. Anyone with a memory going back that far?
