Ruby’s song ‘Amber and Jasper’ is the Discworld version of the folk song ‘Frankie and Johnny’:

Frankie and Johnny were lovers,

Oh, Lordie how they could love!

They swore to be true to each other,

Just as true as the stars above,

He was her man, but he done her wrong.

Marlene Dietrich sang this with her characteristic German accent, hence the “fallink” and “vy” in the parody.

The line “Hiya, big boy” is typically associated with Mae West, though I have not been able to find out if it was ever used in any specific movie.
