Children's misheard words or song lyrics

From 'Fig tree Unto Fig tree' was my dad's misunderstanding and my brother sang,'Once in Roy or David Sooty stole a candle shed' .

Tut, tut hear not here.

Mamma mia, here I go again
my, my Harriet's my sister

Every time I here the 5 year old sing this I crease up

Sam and Janet Evening.....! Priceless!

Anyone remember Terry Wogan's programme and his wrong words?
"You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel,
with four hundred children and a crock in the field."
There were loads of others. He cheered you up and gave you the best start to the day.

When our son was five he brought home his Christmas drawings from school. I was a bit baffled by the drawing of two stick figures standing on either side of a small table. Admiringing it but not knowing exactly what it represented I asked him gentky to explain. it to me. "Teacher said as it was Christmas we should all draw a picture of Jesus's table, so I did".....

I used to eat scramble deggs....

My first wife thought the Beatles were singing 'Cheese got a chicken to ride'.

Yes my choir know it as the Gravy Song.

Terribull my children always insisted on singing ' most highly flavoured gravy' in The Angel Gabriel a From Heaven Came, as well.
Lovely carol though

I have laughed so much reading these submissions. I think if there were to be a prize, it would have to go to KateK for 'sparing his life from his pork sausages', closely followed by Terribull and her 'most highly flavoured gravy'. They do go together quite well, don't they?
Oh and shysal with 'in the hole he goes'
Thank you all for these hilarious examples - keep em coming!

who would call a pizza a pie anyway - only a song writer!

Thanks ana and Katy. for clearing up the confusion over a big piece of pie and a big pizza pie. All these years I've been gettng it wrong! It's given me a laugh anyway.

Aged 4 I asked my parents why we prayed to an "old nighty"

Oh how funny, rosequartz. Yes, she has visited the 'Dabby' several times - it's only about 11 or 12 miles from us. Lovely place!

What about the child who liked the song in assembly about the "damp settee"...........................I am the Lord of the DANCE SAID HE

I hope she got there at some point AshTree!

The last time I went there was with DH's DM and DGM and DGM kept pinching bits off the Busy Lizzies and shrubs, filling her pockets with cuttings to grow on at home! (not that she did any gardening at 85 or so)

My daughter at 5 was very excited to be visiting Buckland Abbey, home of Sir Francis Drake, with her school. In fact, she got over excited and fainted just as they were about to leave. I was duly telephoned and asked to collect her. She came home crying, because she was so upset she wouldn't see "The Dabby".

The little boy I sat next to in top infants had written 'the smorning'

Being a precocious 7 year old I corrected him!

I used to think it was piece of pie too ( Amore) until I saw a historical programme on tv, in the U.S. Pizza was always called pizza pie.
like the other poster, my little daughter used to sing ' the ears are alive' from the Desmond Dekka song The Israelites.She also used to sing 'pitchy potchy on the left hand side' from the Pass The Duchy song, and refused to believe me that she was singing the wrong words to either song.

My sister and I were staying with some friends of my parents while my mother was in hospital. It was my 8th birthday while we were there and I wrote to my mum to tell her of all the presents I'd had. They included a 5/- Poster Lorder.

My dad came from Dorset and when he was in Infant School he thought the Lord's Prayer began with the words,

"Our Father which are in Heaven,
Hallo, what be they name."

Never mind children, how about furiners. Could never understand why Scotts and Brits sang about 'old enzymes' on New Year's evening ;)

I ussed to think they said 'Busy Billity'!

And that ad for Anadin - 'Feeling Wonder Greeunder?'

Ronnie Moler, Ronnie Moler, my cup's full of Ronnie Moler. He lived down our street when I was 4.
