Song Parody Fragments:
"The Street Where You Live"
Better Lyrics:
People gawk and swear, that don't bother me
'Cause there's nowhere else on Earth that I would rather pee
Let the slime go by, I don't care if I
Can pee here on the house where you live
'Cause there's nowhere else on Earth that I would rather pee
Let the slime go by, I don't care if I
Can pee here on the house where you live
Original Lyrics:
People stop and stare, that don't bother me
'Cause there's nowhere else on Earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live
'Cause there's nowhere else on Earth that I would rather be
Let the time go by, I don't care if I
Can be here on the street where you live

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Last Chance To Turn Around"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Last exit to Brooklyn
Last chance to turn around Why They're Nonsensical: On a highway, you can turn around if you go past your intended exit. Just exit at the next turnoff and then get back onto the highway and travel in the opposite direction. Or, if it's permitted, you can make a U-turn in the median.
