The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

but, of course..
Now is the month of maying,
When merry lads are playing, fa la,
Each with his bonny boy,
Who brings him lots of joy. Fa la.
(Sorry, the sailor is not much of a poet, and the threw the lass overboard.)
The Spring, clad all in gladness,
Doth laugh at Winter's sadness, fa la,
And to the bagpipe's sound
The nymphs tread out their ground. Fa la.
Fie then! why sit we musing,
Youth's sweet delight refusing? Fa la.
Say, dainty nymphs, and speak,
Shall we play at barley-break? Fa la.

.. and the drunken sailor didn't commit the poem all by himself.
A few lines were thrown in by Thomas Morley in 1595 (-ish)
- or maybe he just wrote the tune and the fa-la-la-la-la's ..
(By the way, have you sung it, Deeej?)

I kid you not! One day I may succeed having sailor dried up enough to float our longship, get our ship's dog on board and set sail towards the coast of Northumberland.

Nope -- I'd never even heard of it before.
I've found the music online and I'm about to go and play it on the piano, however.

I've heard it before, but I know not where.
Unless it was the Two Ronnies... that might be it. They used to sing folk tunes to silly words, usually dressed as women.

When my bariton voice was younger and a lot steadier I used to sing in a small chamber choir, and a few renaissance madrigals like Thomas Morley's "Now is the Month of Maying" were on our repertoire.
This (too) short sample is with the King's Singers.
