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.

| "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?
