Vocal version with lyrics?

In the late 1960s, or possibly in the early 1970s, I was in the mountains in Colorado, listening to someone else's radio. I heard a vocal version of this tune—not like the one by The Angels where they sang nonsense syllables, but with real lyrics. The singer was a woman. It was somewhat jazzy in arrangement, I think—but this was, after all, around half a century ago.

I've searched recently for references, with no luck. I remember some fragments of the lyrics—possibly imperfectly of course. The one maybe useful bit going approximately like this:

First you take the wrong bus, so you gotta spend a dime
That you saved, that you saved for the java drinking time

Does anyone know anything about this? It certainly seems worth a mention in this article.
