I have the Henry Hall 78 disk of "The Sun Has Got His Hat On" with the naughty verse in it. I hope nobody ever finds it.
It is a strange thing, and the word has changed in meaning in that it never refers just to the colour of a garment or a dog nowadays. I am glad that it has become unacceptable, I just wish it never had been used in such an insulting way that made it so.
