Allan Sherman's, "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?
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?

Allan Sherman's, "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
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
