Thread Name: How the words change
Subject: RE: How the words change
I think the funniest I ever heard was a slight misunderstanding of Stan Kelly's "Liverpool Lullaby"
http://www.feniks.com/skb/music/lull12.html
where "Nelly's working at the Lune" was transposed to "working at the loom" - a VERY strange occupation for The Everton Valley in those days!

btw - The Lune Laundry would not have been a top job either!
