A spoonerism occurs when the first letters or syllables of two or more words get swapped.
The term spoonerism is named in honor of the Reverend William Archibald Spooner whose students used to
write down all the instances of spoonerisms that he made. This page focuses on spoonerisms in song lyrics.

Just call on me, and I'll send it along
With love from me to you.

With love from me to you.

'Til my handsome roll shall find
Rest beyond the river.

But flesh and blood needs flesh and blood,
And you're the one I need.

And you're the nun-eye weed.
