I did a Google search for "campfire songs" and found this version of the song

Flea
Flea fly
Flea fly flow
Fista
Coomberalla coomberalla coomberalla fista
Oh no no no no navista
Eeny meeny dessimeeny oowalla-walla-meeny
Exameeny salameeny oowalla wah
Beep diddlee oppenboppen mo bo badeepin dopping
Shhhhhhhh!

I think there are many regional variations to it. We rarely sang the traditional version so I can't quite remember the correct words.

I remember singing this in camp and at the end we screamed,

BIG BABALOOSKA BABALOOSKA BINGUS

(other side repeats, BIG BABALOOSKA BABALOOSKA BINGUS)

then we all sing "koomala koomala koomala koomala VISTA!"
