The Police, "When The World Is Running Down"
Misheard Lyrics:
When the world is running down,
you make the best dumpling stew around.
Original Lyrics:
When the world is running down,
you make the best of what's still around.
The full title is actually "When the World Is Running Down, You Make the Best of What's Still Around", but that won't all fit in the song title box.
