Trudy Packer is mentioned in several places as being the female
vocalist on that song.

"Trudy Packer supplied the female voice ("2, 3, 4, tell the people
what she wore!")."

I haven't found much information on her except that she's mentioned as
part of the choir on a several Perry Como albums:

(more Como albums --

)

She is also credited with singing "June Is Bustin' Out All Over" with
the Enoch Light Orchestra & Chorus:
