When my sister was younger and didn't know as much English as today she used to sing
"I went down to the hiring fair born to sell my neighbour..."
continued:
"when I noticed a maid on the very first/next door and I hoped she'd clean my labor (meaning laboratory)"
and on Now Be Thankful:
"Now be thankful to your neighbour"
Anon - From: "Angel Delight"
"And he stored it to his cleaned-up chunder"
Anon - Listening to "Light Of Day" from XXXV last night, I thought I heard the line
"Glasses emptied one by one
He chewed his fiddle one last time..."
Anon - 'I Wandered by a Brookside',
verse 2: 'I listened for a football'

Anon - "Banbury Fair:"
I rode the big wheel and got stuck at the top with ugliest girl at the fair...
Should be:
I rode the big wheel and got stuck at the top with loveliest girl at the fair...
Anon - "Banbury Fair:"
Jumping into the air, damn you, that's mine!
Should be:
Jumping into the air, Danube, that's mine!
Anon
And they will turn me in your arms into a Lion bar
