The Baby Shark song has been my ear worm for the whole of the Christmas period this year thanks grandchildren and it was also the "altogether now" song at the panto. Aaarggh!

Way back in the mists of time (1940-50's), my mother used to sing what I assumed was a nonsense song. Now I'm wondering if it was actually a language... one I don't know.
So, if anyone recognises this ditty, will you let me know?
It sounded like this:
Coin-me nary, kiltie-cary
Coin-me nary, coin-me
Ring ting ranabunna, ranabunna ring ting
Ring ting ranabunam coin-me.
I know it doesn't sound like a language but not so long since, I found out that a 'nonsense' song my Granddad sang, was actually Burmese! So you never know.
