New Lyrics for Classic Songs

Melanie has some wonderful ways with my favorite speech disfluency: the Spoonerism. She will utter some of the funniest things by Spoonerizing the middle of words. I should probably make a catalog of the best ones someday. However, the particular one she did tonight was not a Spoonerism, but a subtle change of one word in a classic children's song. She was singing with Amalia and came up with, "hey, hey, skip to the loo." Wow! It changed the way I have always thought of that song. Unfortunately, I am not the best at skipping. I tend to get my feet all tangled up, and if I were really in need of the loo, skipping could cause delays, but I will keep it in mind the next time I must use the WC.
