Did I Imagine It, Or Was This Tune Quoted In An Early Episode?

Sounds like First of the Summer Wine.
It sounds like background music for Seymour and his 3-wheeler, but for some reason I had connected it with The Northern Flying Circus. I scanned through that episode last night, but didn't hear even a short quote from the song.
 
Yes well done, there are small hints of the tune in this episode
And I had the words stored away in my memory without knowing that I had ever before heard either tune or words. I saw that episode way back when I could still hear. I'd never have picked up on it now - even with top-of-the-line hearing aids, my brain doesn't make sense of music.

Thanks to everyone who answered my question. You all reassured me that I hadn't been hearing things.
 
There's a piece of music Ronnie Hazlehurst used many times for pub scenes, or anything to do with pubs. (I think we first hear it Spring Fever, when Nora removes her un-Wally-like husband from the pub.)
I imagine that comes from an old sing or original piece of music.
No idea what.
EDIT. In fact, you can hear the 'pub theme' in Northern Flying Circus, when the trio are wheeling the motorcycle back with a flat tyre, outside the pub, near the end of the episode.
