I can't say I remember the group, but there were a number of parodies of "Where Do You Go To My Lovely" around at the time. Let's face it - the song virtually demanded them!
The place locations in the one you quote suggest an Edinburgh origin. A Glasgow version starts: "Ye look like Hairy Mary, And ye dance like Lionel Blair, Yer claes a' come fae the Barras, An' there's too much lacquer in yer hair." Fortunately, I can't remember any more. I do recall that the song ends with the unfortunate protagonist having her skull splt open with a weapon, resulting in the inevitable last line "No I can see inside yer head".
