What are the origins of this childhood song?
Here are the lyrics:
Yo mama, Yo Daddy, Yo greasy granny with the holes in her panty
And a big behind like Frankenstein,
Goin' beep beep beep down Sesame Street. (Or close to that. I have heard other variations)
More recently, the lyrics from this song have also been included in the song "Let 'em Know" by Rehab as well.
DISCLAIMER: The crazy lady in the bottom video singing this song is NOT me--but she sings this very well.

Your girls' bus or skiprope songs apparently trace back to a bawdy tavern song about Lulu from the 18th century or so. Lulu was the lady in a number of equally "don't sing at work" songs in England (aka Rosie and Miss Susie).
The one in the second source starts:
Some girls work in fact'ries,
Some girls work in stores,
My girl works in a knocking shop
with forty other ...
I'll let you read the rest for yourself.

Miss Lucy had a tugboat
The tugboat had a bell
Miss Lucy went to heaven
The tugboat went to...
Hell-o Operator
Give me number nine
If you disconnect me,
I'll kick you from
Behind the frigerator
There was a piece of glass
Miss Lucy sat upon it
And broke her little
Ask me no more questions
Tell me no more lies
That is what Miss Lucy said
Before she died.
Miss Lucy had two boyfriends
Both were very rich
One was a son of a lawyer
One was a son of a
Bit my finger
Bit my toe
That's the way the story goes.
