No link in the preceding.
FWIW, here are a couple of very different takeoffs, dating (I think) to my childhood (1940s, southern California):
1. Using the verse, not the chorus:
Suzy is a friend of mine.
She will do it any time
For a nickel or a dime.
Suzy is a friend of mine.
Ta-ra-ra etc.
2. For boys, not girls:
Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-aye.
Have you had yours today?
I had mine yesterday.
That's why I sway this way.
