Lyr Req: Johnny with the empty phoo

This song has been around in my wife's family since the early 1900 at least. Her family came from N. Ireland and had strong army and merchant marine influences. All we have is passed down as follows:

Aye, my, ringcum, cokum
Candy, Richard,
Johnny with the empty phoo
Off give flip-flap
Jump,jump Dandy
Shaghai, Tanghai
Shum-tum-aloo

The title is really unknown and the full extent of the lyrics. Currently this is being sung by our grandchildren around the world but we have never been able to trace the source of the song.
Any help would be gratefully received.
