This is from a British kids' TV series called "Simon & The Land Of Chalk Drawings," which was the inspiration for actor-comic Mike Myers' very funny, continuing sketches on NBC-TV's "Saturday Night Live," of a boy named "Simon" showing & telling about his drawings (and their relation to his young life) from a bathtub, the unorthodox exhibit locale often providing as much "showing" as telling.
Myers' near come-hither refrain, provoked by the obvious voyeuristic element of his faux little boy's "tub-thumping" in these sketches was, "Stop looking at my bum, you bum-looker. Cheeky monkey," delivered in perfect British schoolboy inflection, as one of Myers' chief influences (evident in these skits, the Scottish novelty shop sketches & the "Austin Powers" films) was his father's British heritage.
I remember this, but I shouldn't if it was on in the seventies... I remember it from the 90's.

@RantovRizzia This was 1979 or 1980 because I grew up watching Simon. He was part of the Captain Kangaroo show.
