My dear departed Dad used to sing this song to me when I was a kid but I can't trace it's origins. I don't know for sure how to spell 'Zoomalacky' either!

My dear old man used to sing all the time "Anyone had a heart, can look at me". Not sure if he got it right (English not being his first language) or if he misheard it. Not even sure of the song - late 1960s, Lulu or Cilla Black, possibly.

 

[Twenty Inch]

Didn't Geoff Muldaur do a version on "I ain't drunk?"

 

[Haitch]

"Anyone had a heart, can look at me".

This one?

Dusty Springfield also did a version.
