Subject: RE: Children's Misheard Lyrics
These examples come from Diane Hodges book "Laugh Lines For Educators" {Corwin Press, p. 16; 2006} :

KIDS' VERSES:

"God bless American through the
night with a light from a bulb!"

**

"Oh Susanna, O don't you cry for me, for I come from
Alabama with a band-aid on my knee!"

**

"Give us this day our deli bread. Glory be to the father,
and to the Son, and to the whole East Coast!"

**

"We shall come to Joyce's, bringing in the cheese!"

**

"Yield not to Penn Station, but deliver us from evil".
