[Publius]

I knew Harold "Lally" Stott's version from 1970, but not this one. Stott wrote it.

Lally Stott: "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep"

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Stott’s is the original. But if you were around at the time here in the US and pulled this song out a stack of 45s, you most likely would find neither version.

This first cover is the one that did the best here in the US at #20 on Billboard;
