Songs from the musical Mr Punch

When I was about 7 or 8 I was involved in a performance of a musical based on the life of Mr Punch. I have no idea why - it wasn't through school, but seemed to be something to do with local theatre as rehearsals (and presumably the performance which I can't remember) took place in the theatre of the local public school where I ended up going in the sixth form. There are a few things which I remember in vivid detail - a girl called Claudia was the character of Scaramouche (or whoever it was that played the fiddle) and one of my roles as an extra was to pretend to sell something. I picked embroidery thread as my grandmother had a lot of it, and I was very pleased to be able to take a beautifully coloured array of silks with me every day to play with when I wasn't needed. I have been completely unable to locate any information about the musical or any of the songs, but this is another topic on which I will be grilling my mother for any further snippets of insight she might be able to provide. All I remember are solitary verses of a couple of the songs: The Arm of the Law The arm of the law is very very very very long The arm of the law is very very very very strong The arm of the law Is never never wrong And quite infallible I play on my Fiddle (Scaramouche?) I play on my fiddle La la la, la la la, la la la la la la, la la My song is a riddle La la la, la la la, la la la la la la, la la I do not play high I do not play low I don't need a string And I don't need a bow I play on my fiddle La la la, la la la, la la la la la la la, la la I asked the Mother about this and she has a very vague recollection of the whole thing, which (once I had finished remonstrating with her over the cruel way in which she has cast what would have been a fine performance from me out of her memory) I took to be an encouraging sign - no doubt she will now share this feat of memory with all the other village people and hopefully someone will come up with something a little more tangible to go on than my half remembered lyrics and brightly coloured embroidery silk.
