[qThat was it - Little Richard Version -
Well, I got a girl named Bony Maronie,
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
Well, I told her that I love her and I love her so,
Well, I’ll never never never let her go.
I love her and she loves me, all I ever could hope to be,
We can dance underneath the apple tree.

I did a search, and here's what I found:
"This old folk song "Boney Maroney" was written by LARRY WILLIAMS - The full song is as under -
I got a girl named Boney Maronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Ought to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bones
I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be
making love underneath the apple tree
Well, I told her mama and her papa too
Just exactly what I wanna do
I wanna get married on a night in June
And rock and roll by the light of the silvery moon
She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire
She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire
Everyone turns when my baby walks by
She's something to see, really catches the eye
That's why I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy now we can be
Makin' love underneath the apple tree -

This is the version that was popular in the U.S. Is it possible it was "cleaned up" in the UK, taking out the "making love" part?
