Name that song

OK, this will be tricky, and probably embarrassing.
On the radio this morning they played a song which I'm thinking must have been early 70s because I have the feeling it was the era of Crackerjack but I could be wrong.
The lyrics sound like "Shy shy shabbalack" and make no sense at all so Googling got me no where but I rely on you lot to tell me what the song is. Please.

Didn't Crackerjack start in the 50s? Peter Glaze lived locally to where my family lived in NW Kent. My step-father's father ran an engineering company that gave an annual party to the employees and their families and he would get Peter Glaze, who was in the Round Table with him and who used to drink in the same pub, to do an entertainment. PG was a bit of boozer and would do the gig for a bottle of whisky. Somewhere or other I have some photos of one of the parties which were held on the shop floor. It wouldn't be allowed nowadays.

It did, 1955 according to Wiki. I was surprised that a child like Snoopysue could remember it but apparently it ran until 1984! I rememember it in black and white but that is probably because we did not get colour tv for a long long time

I like the fact you think I'm young Gardener
In my day it was Stuepot, and it made my friday afternoon!! Don't think I watched it in 1984 though.
