Well... I see there are 10,000 + hits on Google when I search "There was an old man from Calcutta"
Yet, I must still be an innocent boy... as of the many versions I've seen in full... and I don't quite get the jiumor?

But I take it must go on the same direction of the old Spanish song,

Los hermanos Pinzones,
eran unos mari... neros
que embacarcon con Colón,
que era otro mari... nero.

A los indios motilones,
les cortaron... la retirada...

And so on and so forth...
