This was done as a sketch in the first of the British Amnesty comedy concerts, "A poke in the eye with a sharp stick" in 1976.
One person sang the song with no difference between the words, then said, "I'm sorry, I don't see the problem" (or something like).
Very funny when I first heard it. Alas, while I was in London at the time, I neglected/forgot to go to the concert.
Not sure if it's ever been reissued on CD, but it's a very funny LP.
