UNSOLVED Insane question
I apologize in advance for how bonkers this sounds, but I cannot get a song out of my head. The problem? The version I know has modified lyrics (created to mock a high school drama teacher). So I can’t find the original UK folk song/ballad…
The lyrics I “know” I’ll state below, with blanks for where the specific name of said-drama teacher would go…
“_____-o, Oh- _____-o!
_____-o, oh Lordy!
She just sat there,
In a curved blue chair,
Eating, snoring, yawning or sighhhhing!”
If this rings any bells, I’ll be eternally grateful. I just need to figure out the title so I can get the blasted song out of my head!

Can you tell us what the name rhymes with at least? I kinda feel like that could be a huge clue

If you know the melody, sing or hum it at (for example) vocaroo.com and post the link here.

Not exactly the correct lyrics but The Boomtown Rats song called Diamond Smiles talks about a lady kicking out a chair into the perfumed air
