Some songs lend themselves very well to being altered by the odd word or two ....For instance in the song ... "Don't get around much any more" starts "Missed the Saturday dance" the next line could be changed to......... "got a hole in my pants"! and so on ...Anyone like to continue with this, or any other song, ?

Yes you’ve shown your feelings
Yes you’ve shown you’re tough
Said things worth believing
Tears are not enough

somehow becomes

Yes you’ve shown your feelings
Yes you’ve shown you’re tough
playing rugby league and
Tears are not enough

Just Molly and me
the baby makes three
we're happy in my blue heaven

became, by George Melly,
Just Molly and me
the lodger makes three
we're happy in my blue movie.

I have added to "When the saints" :
and of one thing, I have no doubt
of one thing I have no doubt
I'm going to be in their number
when they throw the sinners out.
