Laugh to see a pudding crawl

[in the park]

Does anyone know what this saying means? I think it is rhyming slang...but cannot trace its origin

i know that it means "easily amused", but have no idea why - do let us know.

I know that there are a couple of references on the Web to this phrase, and there is a rhyme for children, written in 2001 by PhilipG. Bell, which begins "I laughed to see the Pudding Crawl, A new dance at the Hedgehog Ball"; but is "laugh to see a pudding crawl" really in common use? If it is, I'm surprised that there aren't more Web references to the saying.

Not an answer, I'm afraid - but it is common......we grew up with it in the 50s

My mum used to say it a lot when i was growing up and i always took it to mean that you'd laugh at anything!
