it was later done by a girl group in the late 60s - early 70s.

the goose drank wine
the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line
the line broke
the monkey got choked
and they all went to heaven in a little row boat
clap, clap!

and the rubber dolly bit went on for several verses and made tell of how her auntie told her mother that she'd kissed a soldier and now she wouldn't buy her the rubber dolly

there was another one we used to do, but it's completely escaped me for the moment, I'll have to give it some thought!

It's definitely a girl thing though - we had a voice coach in choir who was trying to get us to do something very similar (as part of an exercise to do with making the right and left sides of the brain work together) and the boys were just painful to watch!! They usually have the same problems with aerobics and step classes too!
