From Wikipedia:

“Bony Moronie” was the third single by Larry Williams, released in 1957.

Williams’ original peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard Best Sellers in Stores chart and No. 4 on the U.S. R&B chart. Since then the song has been covered many times.

According to Mark Lewisohn in “The Complete Beatles Chronicle“, The Beatles  – first as The Quarrymen –performed “Bony Moronie” regularly between 1957 and 1961, with John Lennon on lead vocals. However, no known recordings from that period exist.
