This is a song I remember from very early childhood on BBC's Listen With Mother. I can't find any reference to it online. It was probably one of those very ephemeral things that was written for one episode of the programme, sung and forgotten ... except that I'm sure they sang it quite often. I can remember almost all of it except for part of one line. Whenever I'm walking in the rain, I find it going through my head.
Here are the lyrics:
Horniman and Todd,
Off we go together.
Horniman and Todd,
We don't mind the weather.
Dashing through the puddles,
Splashing through the rain,
[dah dah dah dah dumdy dah]
and off we go again!
If you happen to remember it, please get in touch! I'm beginning to think I'm the only person on the planet who remembers this song. Who wrote it? Who sang it?

I remember it as "Horniman and Sir"
I don't think it was listen with mother; I think it was a children's programme that was on on Saturdays around lunchtime or early afternoon (so not Uncle Mac). I don't think it ran for very long but Horniman and Sir was featured more than once. The names referred to one's left and right feet!
Oh Pat, thank you for that! There's more chance of my finding references to it on Google if I have the correct name. Funny, I've always thought of the second name as "Todd", and it never occurred to me that the two characters were feet. I must have been very small at the time! I don't suppose you remember the words for that middle line where I've just put, "dumpty dumpty dumpty dah", do you? That's been annoying me for years.
