"Accuse me while I kiss this guy" and other mis-heard lyrics, words & phrases

Just like many misinterpret the famous Jimi Hendrix lyrics "Excuse me while I Kiss the Sky," we have our own little lyric-mis-interpreter.  He loves to sing, so many of them are actual mis-heard lyrics to your classic children's songs, while others are just mispronunciations of everyday words.  I'm capturing them here because I surely do not want to forget them in months or years after this phase has passed us by.

Below are some of the classics that Tripp has repeated incorrectly, much to the delight & entertainment of his parents.  Hope you enjoy, I know I will!


  • "Mama, may I be accused?":  Often said when he'd like to be excused from the table after a meal, a valiant attempt at being polite has me giggling every time.
  • "Dot Dogs & Hangburgers":  What daddy cooks on the gree-ul (2 syllable of the word 'grill') on the weekends.
  • "... Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse super sleigh":  The lyrics to the classic Jingle Bells tune that is sung year-round in the Roughen household.
  • "A,B,C,D... W,X,Y and Z.  Now I mom, ABCs.  Won't you come and sing with me":  Mis-heard classic alphabet ender.
  • "Baa Baa Black Sheep, have you any... I'm sorry, goonk":  This sometimes comes out in the middle of any song.  Not sure what 'goonk' is, nor why he's apologizing for singing a cute song, but it's funny nonetheless.
  • "Lellow Taxi":  Just like the color of all taxis.
  • "Chick A Lay":  you know, the yummy fast food restaurant

That's all I have for now... more to come, I'm sure.  Happy Hump Day!
