Here's an odd one...

A long time ago I heard a rather amusing song performed by a 'Dixie' band. I distinctly remember one verse. I have no idea the name of the song, where it came from or why I am still so curious about it. Here's what I know:

Sarah, Sarah, sittin’ in a Chevrolet
Sarah, Sarah, sittin’ in a Chevrolet
All day long she sits and shifts
All day long she shifts and sits
Sarah, Sarah, sittin’ in a Chevrolet

(umm, excuse an speeling, I'm dog tired)
Anyways, this is what I remember - does anyone recognize this?!?!?!

Desperately seeking Sarah

I used to perform the song. Other verses

Sarah, Sarah, sitting in a shoeshine shop
All day long she sits and shines
All day long she shines (etc.)

Sarah, Sarah sitting in a seamstress shop.
All day long she snips and tucks,
All day long she tucks and snips.

Sarah, Sarah sitting in a sheet slitting shop.
All day long she slits her sheets,
All day long her sheets she slits,
Sarah, Sarah sitting in a sheet slitting shop

Round and round the rugged rock the rugged rascal ran.
The classic tongue twister "How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" refers to a 1902 song. The answer is: He would chuck, he would, as much as he could, and chuck as much wood as a woodchuck would if a woodchuck could chuck wood. A wildlife expert once estimated a woodchuck could move about 700 pounds.

I learned it as

A woodchuck
would chuck
all the wood he could chuck
if a woodchuck could chuck wood

Sarah, Sarah, sitting in a seafood shop (repeat)
All day long she sits and shucks, all day long she shucks and sits,
Sarah, Sarah...

Sarah, Sarah, sitting in a sewing shop (repeat)
All day long she fits and tucks. all day long she tucks and fits,
Sarah, Sarah...

Sarah, Sarah, sitting on a battleship (repeat)
All day long she sits on ships, all day long on ships she sits,
Sarah, Sarah...

Sarah, Sarah, sippin' on a bottle of Schlitz (repeat)
All day long she sips her Schlitz, all day long her Schlitz she sips,
Sarah, Sarah.

The idea being to get the audience to sing and make mistakes.
Spoonerisms are good.
