What a miracle of information this thing called the Internet is!
I posted this to the Finale list and the Trombone list (sorry for the
cross post), go to lunch for 40 minutes, and come back to find several
great answers, with all I will ever need to know about this silly piece
of Americana.
Thanks so much Bob and Lawrence!
Oh, Lawrence, besides the pages Bob gives below, here is a link with
more alternate sets of lyrics:

My orchestra just asked me to do a quickie arrangement of "Dance of
the Snake Charmer" for a novelty (don't ask). The staff person
that contacted me said it was a popular tune and was sure I would
know it.
I actually come up blank using that title. I'm guessing it's the
tune they used to use in cartoons and such:
ab|c b |a ab|cebc|a
If so, does this tune have a name?
Thanks for any help
