Traditional's, "In My Merry Oldsmobile"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
You can go as far as you like with me
In My Merry Oldsmobile.
In My Merry Oldsmobile.
Why They're Inappropriate:
Wasn't this song written when it was more likely that the guy's footprints would be found upside down on the dashboard of a horse-drawn buggy? Maybe I should get my mind out of the gutter. :D

Traditional's, "Shepherds, Shake Off Your Drowsy Sleep"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Shepherds, shake off your drowsy sleep.
rise and leave your silly sheep.
rise and leave your silly sheep.

Why does the birth of Jesus make their sheep silly?

Traditional's, "They Were Only Playing Leapfrog"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
One fat flea flew up the flue as another fat flea flew down
Why They're Inappropriate:
Contrary to an apparently popular belief, which must have inspired this line, fleas have no wings and cannot fly. The name of the taxonomic order to which they belong is 'Siphonaptera', meaning wingless suckers, reflecting their flightlessness. They can jump considerable distances, perhaps contributing to an illusion that they fly.
