Yus ut dew

She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (11 syllables)
There were five Ipswich prossies on the street (10 syllables)

All you have to do to make up for the missing syllable is lengthen the "i" of "five" and then it fits OK. It loses the attractive rhythym of the original, of course, and is a crap song, but it can be made to scan.

Not nearly as good as "Did the Ripper, did the Ripper, did the Ripper kill your mum?" though.
