I Just remember the first 3 lines of this song that my mother used to sing.
             Ninan was witty
             Ninan was pretty
             Ninan was a naughty girl

I think the song may have come from a Broadway musical somwhere in the 1920s or 1930s.

Found this, but no lyrics. And, it appears to be Ninon....the first link doesn't want to let you out.

WorldCat.org shows that a couple of libraries have the sheet music, described thus:

From "As You Were," a fantastic revue adapted from Rip's "Plus Ça Change."
