‘This is a distinctly open-air and boisterous game; it is popular in Birmingham’
(From ‘The Joyous Book Of Singing Games’ by John Hornby)

If you hate horribly contrived puns, please … look away now.
A bull elephant goes into a brewery looking for a job. (it happens)
‘Okay’, says the foreman, ‘I need all those bags of malt shifted to this side of the yard’.
‘Great!’ says the elephant and gets to work picking them up with his trunk.
‘You’ll have to be quicker than that’, says the foreman, ‘put a bag on each tusk’.
‘I can’t do that, I’m a BULL elephant” says he, horrified.
‘So?’ says the foreman.
‘Well surely that would be malty tusking’.
