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.
