Released in the mid 60s and also featuring The Diddymen!
Tabbed from a video so hopefully sounds about right.
The song can be sung without the 'spoken' sections and it still sounds ok (imo).
Verse 1
CWell it all began in the year of one when Adam was the first man
CAnd a girl called Eve so we believe was said to be his Gwoman
She Fled him up the Garden of CEden by a Amtree
Then she Coffered him her apple and he Gcried out suddenly ee ee eeC
SPOKEN - where's me shirt where's me shirt
Chorus
I Ffeel a proper twazzer without me Cshirt
I've Fgot me tickling-tackle and me Cnicky-nocky-Gnoo
But I Fmust confess I feel undressed
Like Cthis in Gfront of Cyou
SPOKEN
Where's me shirt
I can't find me shirt anywhere It's twenty-five past five
in the Garden of Eden and I can't find me shirt. Fancy
leaving me in a garden with no shirt on like this. Look
at all these creepy-crawly things here. Ooh look there's
a serpent. Go 'way. Go 'way you nasty old serpent. Go on
shoo! Go on shoo.
Verse 2
CSince the days of old, we've all been told of men like Bonaparte
CHis great retreat and his first defeat was the Gthing that broke his heart
He Fstuck just outside Moscow and Cthen made hisAmtory
He Cstuck his hand inside his coat and Gcried out bitterly ee ee eeC
SPOKEN - where's me shirt where'a me shirt
Chorus
I Fcan't go on like zis wizout my Cshirt

But I Fjust can't go through all this snow
WithCout a Gshirt on Cme

Where's me shirt?
Oh sacre blue sacre flippin' blue where's me shirt? By
Jove t'ain't 'alf frosty. Ooh ooh this tent isn't 'alf drafty.
I don't know where the draft's comin' from but I
know where it's goin' to.
Verse 3
CBack in eighty-one in the mid-day sun in Tombstone one September
