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".
