There was a famous Australian vaudeville comedian, Mo, who used to recite "The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God".
...“he endeavoured to recite ‘The Green Eye of the Little Yellow God,’ only to be constantly interrupted by hecklers dressed as ex-Indian Army officers planted in the audience. In frustration, Mo would explode with ‘Oh this is lovely! This is beautiful! A gentleman and a scholar can’t get up to resuscitate an immoral piece of poultry without being got at!’”
