The additions to the song do seem to be fairly widespread. (See Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Ilkla_Moor_Baht'at), for example.
We never seem to tire of our "one song to the tune of another" thing. Another current favourite is singing (more or less) the words of The Wild Rover to the tune of the Banana Boat Song. ("Nay oh! Nay oh! Never will play the wild rover no more.") I think we picked that up from some other Morris side once. Maybe the problem is that the amount of alcohol consumed means that we can't actually remember the previous 293 times we've heard the same joke before...
