The text of the famous Cheltenham song was composed with great refinement. Does anyone know who was the author? Or when / where it was first sung?
I would be obliged for an answer.

The song in Jno's video is taken from the 1962 Decca album 'The World Of Tsai Chin'. The track listings show 'School in Cheltenham' to have been written by Paddy Roberts: https://www.discogs.com/Tsai-Chin-The-World-Of-Tsai-Chin/release/3637988 This was one of his most famous songs:

Thank you for the link. The commentator connects the title with Paddy Roberts and his LP „Side rim“ (spelling ?) but leaves the authorship and all other aspects unclear. So my question is still unanswered.

Chris has beaten me to it, but I have to agree it leads back to Paddy Roberts on all links.

And I missed his link, apologies :-)

Thanks to you, Buenchico, but also to Mamyalynne. This is the solution. I heard the song first during a period of work in Scotland in 1962/63 and at that time thought it was much older because of the light-hearted and ironic attitude.
