Also, it seems to me that in the United States the taunting referent "Skinnie Minnie" was booted out by "Bony Moronie".

If you were thin like I used to be-many moons ago-you absolutely hated this song:


BONY MORONIE
Words and music by Larry Williams.
As recorded by Larry Williams, 1957.

I got a girl named Bony Moronie.
She's as skinny as a stick o' macaroni.
Ought to see her rock an' roll with her blue jeans on.
She's not very fat, just skin an' bone.
But I love her an' she loves me.
Oh, how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree!

Well, I told her mama and her papa too
Just exactly what I want to do.
I want to get married on a night in June
And rock 'n' roll by the light of the silvery moon.
I love her an' she loves me.
Oh, how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree!

She's my one and only; she's my heart's desire.
She's a real upsetter; she's a real live wire.
Ev'rybody turns when my baby goes by.
She's somethin' to see; she really catches the eye.
I love her; she loves me.
Oh, how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree!
