Wasn't this song made popular and was called the Witch Doctor song?

spoken plainly with a strict meter, marching time
2,4,6,9 the goose drank the wine, the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line the line broke, the monkey choked and they all went to heaven in a little rowboat (clap, clap clap) ooh, eee, ooh aah, aah ting tang wally wally bing bang, Ooo eee, ooo ahh, ahh, ting tang wally wally bing bang.
My mama told me, if I was goody, that she would buy me a rubber dolly, My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier So she could buy me a rubber dolly.
