: I beg to differ, i'm sure it's the way _i_ wrote it! :-)

From the Monty Python FAQ (http://www.tuatha.org/~simon/mpfaq.html):

   I cut down trees, I wear high heels,
   Suspenders and a bra.     (Other versions: "Suspendies and a bra.")
   I wish I was a girlie     (Other versions: "I wish I'd been a girlie")
   Just like my dear Papa.   (Other versions: "Just like my dear Mama.")

Most of the lyrics on the web seem to use "dear papa", but this may
simply be because most of them seem to be transcribed from Monty Python
at the Hollywood Bowl, which used those words.

One of the more interesting quotes brought up by my searches was:

> USER: My name is Jason.
> HAL:  I THINK ALAN TURING WAS A GIRLIE, JUST LIKE *MY* DEAR MAMA
