Childs football rhyme help

A ditty from my childhood popped in to my head from nowhere the other day but I cannot for the life of me remember the start, can any lifers help, it is driving me nuts?
Problem is though, this could be a made up song between mates from my school days at St Thomas a Beckett in the late 60´s and has never been heard outside of that playground. I am hoping it was known in wider circles!
To the tune of my old mans a dustman, this is where I remember the song from, does anyone know how it starts off?
Fatty passed to skinny, skinny passed it back
Fatty took a rotten shot and knocked the goalie flat
Where was the goalie when the ball was in the net
Flying to Australia on a supersonic jet
Here's hoping!

My Old Man's a Dustman (Variation)
O, my old man's a dustman He wears a dustman's hat He bought two thousand tickets To see a football match Oh, Fatty passed to Skinny And Skinny passed it back Fatty took a rotten shot And knocked the goalie flat, OOH! Where was the goalie When the ball went in the net? Halfway up the goalpost With his trousers round his neck, singing Oompah, oompah Stick it up you jumper Rule Britannia, marmalde and jam We threw sausages at our old man They put him on a stetcher They put him on a bed They rubbed his belly With a five pound jelly But the poor old soul was dead

As soon as I read your post I remembered it with those words, us kids obviously tinkered with the original!0
