Bottle of pop, sausage roll.

Sorry, not too sure what that means.

Those were the extra words we'd add, one man and his dog, bottle of pop, sausage roll, went to mow a meadow.

Oh ok. We used to add the dog's name, one man and his dog Spot went to mow a meadow.

That's national/regional variagions for you.

Someone has a whole video segment on all the different versions of Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, and there's quite a lot.
