Today I overheard a conversation between two grocery clerks. One told the other that she was recently told the words to the song learned in childhood were,

"My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea..."

She said she thought it was:
"My body lies over the ocean, my body lies over the sea..."

I started laughing and she asked for my opinion. I told her "Bonnie", muttered something about a Mondegreen, and went off to get some bells for my coctails (see original posting.) laugh
