Name that tune

- John Gibson Standlake, Oxfordshir­e

sir – On the subject of Harry Pollitt (Letters, October 18), do any readers remember a ditty from the Fifties that began: “Harry Pollitt was a Bolshie and one of Lenin’s lads, / Till he was foully murdered by reactionar­y cads.”

The tune rings in my head but not, alas, the words.
