... the late, great Ray Moore, from the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show ?
and although that was not exactly what he sang on air, can you remember what it was ? I can.

Sort of, carrot crunchers and the late Terry Wogan, both were very good and funny presenters for the BBC
Here are the lyrics to the song:
O' My father had a rabbit and he thought it was a duck, So he stuck it on the table with its legs cocked up, He mixed a bowl of stuffing and he left it on the shelf, but when he came to stuff the duck, the duck had stuffed itself!
So he took it out the oven and he sprinkled it with salt, and then he put it back again and said ive had a thought. "If this ducks a rabbit and its only got two legs, When it wandered round the garden, how come it laid some eggs!"
I've never seen a duck Cluck nor yet a chicken quack. I've never seen rabbit with the feathers on his back. I've never heard a horse bark or seen a donkey grunt. Never seen a heifer with its udders at the front."
So he shouted to my mother to "Come and have a look", "I've got it in the oven, this thing im trying to cook". My mother started laughing, said "This a funny dish, nothing like a duck to me, it looks more like a fish."
So she picked it, and pricked it, and covering it with oil. She plumped it, and thumped it, and wrapped it in tin foil. Turned up the oven, to get a bit of heat. But when she went to close the door it jumped out at her feet.
I've never, ever seen, my mother pass a motorbike, She was running faster than a double decker bus, Out on the main road and twice round the roundabout, People standing looking wondered what had caused the fuss.
Well we had to go and catch her and bring her to the house, Everyone was asking "Do you think she saw a mouse?" I went into the kitchen, I thought i'd have a look see if i could find the thing my mother tried to cook
And then i saw a tom cat a sitting on the shelf, With an empty piece of tin foil, he'd ate the thing himself! And the sad end to my story, i'll tell before i go, Was it rabbit, duck or fish we had, We'll never ever know!

In actuality, the lyrics Ray used in the broadcast were the more inoffensive,
Mother had a chicken, but she thought it was a duck so she put it on the table with it's legs stuck up.
as I recall
