Looking for Floop of the Universe...

Hello! I am searching for what is turning out to be a very obscure song. The only thing I know about it at all is it contains the verse "You are the floop of the universe." I don't know for sure if that is how floop is spelled. And it's an older song.

The story: My parents have been calling each other 'floop' as a nickname for ages. I asked them where that name came from, and my mom told me that when they were still dating, they heard a song on the radio with the verse "You are the floop of the universe." Neither of them have heard this song since, but I've been trying to find it for them as a surprise. So far, I've come up with nothing. Does anyone else recognize this lyric?? Thanks!

You beat me to it. Melissa Manchester is the singing vocalist on this one.
I also thought of that Joe Meek tune "Doopey Darling."
