Well, what if every Gulf Coaster who felt like it started singing things like:

"No, 'twas the truth in her eyes ever shining,
that made me love Mary, the Rose of Capri."

There is such a thing as 'a sense of place' and it is important to authors and lyricists. Leave it alone. If you want songs shoehorned into your repertoire's special needs, write yer own.
