The song was the the theme tune to the TV series When The Boat Comes In starring James Bolam.

Dance ti' thy daddy, sing ti' thy mammy,
Dance ti' thy daddy, ti' thy mammy sing;
Thou shall hev a fishy on a little dishy,
Thou shall hev a fishy when the boat comes in.

It's a traditional Northumbrian folk song apparently. Maybe someone from the North East can elaborate.
The oringinal (ie most commonly known) is by Alex Glasgow but there are hundreds of versions out there.

This was only copy I could find
