The closest I know to "skinnamarink" is as a nonsense word in the chorus of
a song about Dives and Lazarus. Here's how it begins:

        There was a rich man and he lived in Jerusalem,
        Glory hallelujah, hi-ro-jerum.
        He wore a top hat and his coat was very sprucium,
        Glory hallelujah, hi-ro-jerum.

        Hi-ro-jerum, hey, hi-ro-jerum, hey!
        Skinnamarinky doodlium, skinnamarinky doodlium,
        Glory hallelujah, hi-ro-jerum.
