Years ago when I was translating some french songs into English I had no end of trouble with one particular chorus, which turned out to be a french equivalent of "with a whack fol me diddle". There should be some way of indicating when words don't mean anything, like print them in a different colour or enclose them in some indicator like "bol..wacky macky bing bong...locks".
