Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Skinny Lizzie' song from Belfast area?
The title reminds me of "Skinny Minny" (Bill Haley) and "Boney Maronie" (Larry Williams), a couple of rock & Roll songs that were popular in the fifties.

My skinny Minnie is a crazy chick
Six foot high and one foot thick
Well, do I love her, does a boy love pie?
Well, she is the apple of my eye
Skinny Minnie, she ain't skinny
She's tall, that's all


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