Charlie,

You, of course know Joe Hill's The Preacher and the Slave which contains to
the same tune:

FINAL CHORUS:
You will eat, bye and bye,
When you've learned how to cook and to fry.
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good,
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye.

I'd get a kick out of it if that was the inspration for this ad.
