"Let’s make some vowels. Go ahh or ehh or eee, and you’ve got the idea."

How about "ooh eee ooh ahh ahh ting tang walla walla bing bang"?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuqOEfPhIrg

In some cases, the sounds were repurposed: "Beet" went from referring to a chomp to referring to a purple root vegetable, for instance.

Great example of a proto-punk song, too! Nice share.

Screamin’ Jay gives us a little something extra in this song, too - mainly at the tail end:
