Wikipedia:
Australian glam rock pop band Hush formed in 1971 and disbanded in 1977. For most of that time their line-up was lead singer Keith Lamb with Les Gock on lead guitar, Rick Lum on bass guitar and Chris ‘Smiley’ Pailthorpe on drums. They had top 10 hits on the Kent Music Report with their cover versions of Bony Moronie and Glad All Over (both 1975). The group frequently appeared on the TV pop music show Countdown and toured nationally.

Lyrics:
Oh I got a girl named Bony Moronie
She’s as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Got to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
She’s not very fat, just skin and bone
Well, now I love her and she loves me
Oh, how happy now we’re gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree
