People claim it's the tune of "The Old Grey Mare". I really have to wrench my brain to make them fit together, but I'm pretty sure that's right.

I have never heard the Gopher song before, but even just reading the lyrics I could identify that the cadence was the same as "The Old Grey Mare."

"And now: the crazy old man dancers!"

"Old grey mare she aint what she used to be
aint what she used to be
aint what she used to be"

Hmmm... I misheard that one. I always thought it was "Old grey matter ain't what it used to be, ain't waht it used to be..." thinking it was something to sing when you felt like your mind was turning to mush!
