What Little Boys Are Made Of by Tommy Hunter

I am looking for the poem that Tommy Hunter occasionally read when he had his show which is titled What Little Boys Are Made Of. If anyone knows it I would really appreciate a copy of it. Thanks

All I remember is "Little boys are made of snails and (?) and puppy dog tails. That's what little boys are made of"

Here's one version-

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of !"
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girls are made of!"

I've also seen the second line as 'frogs and snails' or 'snakes and snails.'

Heather, you may be able to get a script for the Tommy Hunder show from the MBC archives:
