How many times have you heard a song on the radio and
thought you understood the lyrics, only to later learn
that you had totally misunderstood the words?

Two instances that spring to memory:
	I heard "She's seen better days gone by"
        when they sang, "She's got Bette Davis eyes" 

	In the musical CATS there's a song called
	Skimbleshanks: the Railway Cat, and at one
	point I thought I heard the chorus call out,
	   "Do you like your morning tea with a straw?"
	when they sang,
	   "Do you like your morning tea hot or cold?"

These aren't too funny, but they're just examples of
the form ... I'm sure that you folks can remember lots
of funny mistakes...

	Born to Pun,
		-Andrew
