I didn’t know some of the rhymes people came up with to answer #5, but found a few of them on this site (note that the list covers 15 pages).
Leroy. The boy detective’s first casebook was published in 1963, ten years before Jim Croce sang about that dude from the South Side of Chicago.
(yes, The Onion is a satirical paper, but the name is correct.)
Tengu: There were two sets of Bobbsey Twins. Bert and Nan were the older pair, while Freddie and Flossie were the younger offspring of “prosperous lumber merchant” Richard and “housewife” Mary.

Between this and, I’m Only a Bill
So, what you’re saying is that “Encyclopedia” got into drugs, easy women, pool sharping, and other criminal endeavors once puberty hit? Gotta watch them trivia freaks - they get mean when they’re crossed.
Must be a regional variation because this is the way I heard it:
McDonald’s is your kind of place
They kick you in the face
They have no parking place
They feed you rattlesnakes
The last time that I went there
They stole my underwear
McDonald’s is your kind of plaaaace!
Ah, yes, I vaguely remembered Nan, but Bert, Freddie and Flossie would never have come to mind. I kinda want to reread those books, now…

Here’s the way I learned it (mid to late 60s)
McDonald’s is your kind of place
Hamburgers in your face
Dill pickles up your nose
French fries between your toes
And don’t forget their chocolate shakes
They’re made from polluted lakes
MacDonald’s is your kind of plaaaace!
(The last time I was in there, they stole my underwear, I really had a scare, I tore right out of there was a variant and not necessary to the completeness).
