I emailed Buffy many years ago, and she said "Johnny Be Fair" was her own composition, based on a joke she heard.

Buffy had a humorous song about searching for a spouse, but every prospect turned out to be an offspring of her father.
Similar punch line to Mike Cross's "Elma Turl".
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
