A quick Google search brings up several "Leprosy" links and various lyrics, as
well as a lot of questions similar to yours. I remember hearing it sung briefly
in a radio drama in the early 60s so I know it was around.
Nothing on the other one, sorry..

I don't remember the song and I don't know who sang it but it outlined a series of gifts that were to be given to different people and then the singer decides to send just "kindest regards". I'm not even positive if that was the phrase, it could have been fondest regards, but that was the story. Any help would be appreciated.
