No…it’s not a Status Quo number…it’s Irish and has a connection with fair ladies and cleanliness.
Answers on a postcard to our leader???

(In our house we call it ‘diddley-diddley music’)
Swallowtail jig?
The Chemists’ Drinking Song?
Planxty Sinsemilla ?
The Spanish Lady. But that’s not a jig and she was dark, not fair. Well, she might have been a fair trader but it’s not entirely clear what her trade was, the Weekenders to the contrary. She was certainly clean though; to be precise she was clean about the soles at least. (The song doesn’t report on the cleanliness of parts further north.)
Irish Washerwoman, definitely.
Try another one, without the clue this time!
Yup, Irish Washerwoman, even without the clue.
I’ve got a musical mate who always rings me up and does that…
“d’ye know this one…dee-diddle-eye-dee-diddle—diddle-ah-de-dum-dee-da…[etc]”
