Location: Converse, Texas | Since Cliff spoke in another post about Parody songs ... I was wondering if anyone out there knew of the website that has listing of the most common misunderstood lyrics. You know, "scuse me while I kiss this guy..." "There's a bathroom on the right..." stuff like that. I've seen it somewhere, but can't find it now. |

for a very long time I couldn't figure out "ferry cross the Merzy".
Thought is was "so very close to mercy...Islam, the land I love". |

My favorite used to be a site called "The Ants are my Friends" (from Blowin in the Wind), but the site seems to have vanished into the digital sunset.
A Google search of "Misheard Lyrics" yields many sites, most of which seem to be missing. |

Location: Scotland | "I Like Sheep" that wasn't a misheard lyric, he actually wrote that intentionally. Nor was it a parody, it was a genuine heartfelt lovesong to sheep, or strictly speaking one particluar sheep.
Years ago I head someone doing the Hank Williams song "Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used To Do" and instead of the line "why do you treat me like a worn-out shoe?" he sang "why do you treat me like a one-eyed Jew?" The sad thing was no-one except me noticed. Or maybe it's totally sad that I was the only one who noticed |

BONAPARTE'S RETREAT
music and Words by Pee Wee King and Redd Stewart
Met the [D] girl I love
In a town 'way down in Dixie
'Neath the stars above
She was the sweetest girl I ever did see
So I took her in my arms, and
[A7] told her of her many charms, I
[D] kissed her while the fiddles played, the
[A7] Bonaparte's Re-[D] treat.
All the [D7] world was bright
As I held her on that night
And I heard her say
"Please don't ever go away",
[D] So I held her in my arms, and
[A7] Told her of her many charms, I
[D] Kissed her while the fiddles played, the
[A7] Bonaparte's Re-[D] treat.
Repeat both verses

Local redneck version-
I TOOK HER HOME WITH ME
(lyrics by a Local Disgusting Bastard)
Met the gal I love
At a bar just out’a Prineville
Neon beer signs up above
She drove up in her old Coupe Deville.
So, I slapped her on the butt, I
Said she was my favorite slut, I
Threw my empty beer away &
Went & took a pee.
She was wearin’ them tight pants
So I asked her for a dance
We went out to cut the rug
Then she said she had a jug!
So, I slapped her on the butt, I
Said she was my favorite slut, I
Threw my empty beer away &
Took her home with me.
Repeat both verses
