The lines at the end, You may think that this is the end -- well it is are older than Mitch Miller's TV show. My friends and I sang them before 1954 in California (my family moved to Japan in April 1954 when I was 13). Mitch Miller's Sing Along With Mitch ran from 1961 to 1964.

Here's what we sang:

Be kind to your web-footed friends
For the duck may be somebody's mother
Be kind to your friends in the swamp
Where the weather is cold and damp [pronounced domp]
You may think that this is the end
Well it is

Sometimes we sang well it ain't 'cuz there's still another chorus and then cut it off with well it is the next time around.
