In case anybody missed it the host described her as pachydermatous. In other words elephantine. This was in the days before fat shaming. In fact she refers to herself as two ton Tessie.
That theme (i.e. the melody) seems to be based on a military march - I remember having heard it played by Drum and Fyfe in a movie. Sorry, that I cannot be more exact, but I think it is a remnant from the revolutionary wars.

Two Ton Tessie O'Shea.
These really were The Good Old Days...gorgeous dancers too...
This is without a doubt the greatest thing my eyes and ears have ever experienced.

Teresa Mary "Tessie" O'Shea (13 March 1913 - 21 April 1995) was a Welsh entertainer and actress.

I presented a bouquet of flowers to Tessie O'Shea at a garden party when I was about 5 years old in 1953.
I've got one of her records. She was indeed a fabulous entertainer.
Tessie was a great sunburst of joy onstage.
Wouldn’t it be great they make a musical using the Tessie O’Shea character?
loved this girl to bits
Leonard Sachs! I will never forget The Old Bull & Bush.

And a three year wait to leave the audience.
Great name

Does anyone know the title and lyrics of the segment that begins at 3:40 (about "a little mouse in a mill did dwell...")?

Sounds like a load of stupid tripe.

The melody seems to be "The Girl I left Behind Me" or sometimes known as "Brighton Camp". The words, I've no idea.

You're absolutely right!
Does her banjo lack strings?
Isn't she really entertaining
Brilliant
Happy days,
