Hello choir people; can anyone recommend an arrangement of this for choir, sop, alt and (only a few!) men?

There is one in Voiceworks 1. Not specifically SA(T) (B), it's a flexible arrangement with a 'la la' descant, and a 'drunken sailor' lower ostinato-type part. I think it might suit. I've done it with my school choir with rewritten words inspired by Allan Ahlberg's poem 'What shall we do with the grumpy teacher'. We rewrote it with lots of topical references to teachers and things going on at our school, and the kids loved it.

Enjoy!

There are quite a few SATB arrangements around, but no SAB ones. Is SATB ok?

Thanks both, I almost forgot I'd posted here!
It'd be for the choir I sing with here in Germany, so the more la-la bits the better!
