Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for May 29, 2023

and it’s one of my favorite hobbies

Put on your red dress, baby. Lord, we goin’ out tonight. Put on your red dress, baby.Lord, we goin’ out tonight And wear some boxin’ gloves, In case some fool might wanna fight

“will you let me go, Miss Miller!”

Misheard lyrics abound!

Du musst besoff’n bessdell’n…* something like: you have to order while being drunk

Song sung out’ta tune, everyone knows one…

I’m compulsive about looking up lyrics. I have several lyric sites bookmarked.

And how do the words to that go, Aunty?

With today’s better sound from speakers and lyrics available online I have found some song lyrics I have had wrong for decades!

“S’cuse me while I kiss this guy…”

“There’s a bathroom on the right.”

“Since she put me down there’s been owls puking in my head”

“Blinded by the light, Revved up like a Deuce, Another runner in the night”..

“I’ve got friends in Lowell, Texas, where the whiskey’s brown and the beer is tasteless. I booze all day, and I’m doing okay.”

Please Aunty, sing one of our favorites……“Far Far Away On A Hill.”

“Jose’ can you seeee??”

“Don’t be cruel, cruel hearted strule”

Hand her another glass of 5L wine and maybe she’ll go to sleep with the chorus in her head.

And the classic, in the garden of Eden baby. That song popped into my head when I read this.

“You say the sky, the sky’s in love with you…”

When pitch is not necessary, the lyrics are even farther down the list of concerns.

Sing a song of sixpence, a glass and a half of rye…

♪ mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey…

oh, wait. those are the real lyrics… ☺

Go straight to YouTube Search.There are a lot of them there. Also handy if you remember some lyrics, but not what song they came from.

“Gypsies, tramps and peas . . . "

Took me a long time to find out where I was going wrong with that one.

P’jamas! p’jamas in the name of the lord.

Well, that explains all the Doobie, Doobie, Doos.
