That's a good one Andy.
I own that 1972 Vigrass & Osborne album "Queues".
On the label of this LP it says: All lyrics by Paul Vigrass & Gary Osborne.
All music composed, arranged and produced by Jeff Wayne.
But there's more. The tune was also used for a Lego toys commercial in 1969.
You can hear samples of all these on The War of the Worlds [Seven-Disc Collector's Edition]

Here's the original 1969 Lego Toys Radio Commercial.
The original melody was written by Wayne in 1969 as a jingle for a Lego commercial. Vigrass and Osborne, the performers of the original jingle, added lyrics to the song and recorded it for inclusion on their 1972 album Queues. Their interpretation was also released as a single and gained moderate commercial success in Japan, selling more than 100,000 copies and becoming a top-20 hit on the country's record chart.
