Decline of the capitalist system...I think it was in a Monty Python sketch

I tried to post something in the MP section - has it been closed? I remember during my "Monty Python" years (the best years of my life) hearing a sketch with the following little ditty that someone was singing "If the decline of the capitalist system...seems to be coming through! Get in the kitchen! Pull out a skillet! and cook a little dish or two.

Was this MP?

Doesn't sound like Python. There was this, but not those words - not unless you heard a variant of it.

Apparently it's a Rutles song (Eric Idle and Neil Innes) called Communist Cooking. Perhaps it aired on Rutland Weekend Television?
