Subject: RE: your favorite ironical/comical love song
I hold your hand in mine, dear
I press it to my lips.
I take a healthy bite, dear
Of your precious fingertips.
The night you died, I cut it off
I really don't know why!!
For every time I kiss it, I
Get bloodstains on my tie....


Tom Lehrer, "I Hold Your Hand in Mine".

See also his Wiener Schnitzel Waltz, which always gets a guffaw.
