Story about this misheard lyric by: Doug Montgomery

I thought at first Allan was singing these lyrics (set to 'An English Country Garden') in some allusion to a line in mad Magazine about a year earlier, 'You'll live just like a Pharaoh.' I didn't realize I had it wrong until I saw the printed lyrics in a biography of Allan Sherman a few years later.

Funny Lyrics:

"Crazy Downtown"
The Funny Lyrics:
Mommy and Dad are never nervous or mad when you teenagers go downtown
Why They're Funny:
This is only a sample of Allan Sherman's funny parody of Petula Clark's 'Downtown'. What makes it really funny is that it is 'Downtown' sung from a parent's point of view. It only gets funnier as the song progresses.

The Funny Lyrics:
So they both can stay in bed
With Frankenstein and Mister Ed.
Why They're Funny:
Now _that_ presents an interesting picture! :D

Misrhymed Lyrics:

"The Ballad Of Harry Lewis"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
I'm singing you the ballad of a great man of the cloth
His name is Harry Lewis and he worked for Irving Roth
He did while cutting velvet on a hot July the Foth
Why They're Misrhymed:
That's a real groaner! Allan really stretched it to produce a rhyme there. :p

"Sir Greenbaum's Madrigal (after 'Greensleeves')"
The Misrhymed Lyrics:
I chanced upon him one morn when he'd recengtly resued a maiden fair
Oh, why art thou so forlorn, Sir Greenbaum, is thy heart heavy laden?
Why They're Misrhymed:
I can't believe that a talented satirist like Allan Sherman couldn't do better than this. I assume 'maiden' is supposed to rhyme with 'laden'; but then, why isn't it at the end of the line?
