Burl Ives', "A Holly Jolly Christmas"
The Funny Lyrics:
And when you walk down the street,
Say hello to friends you know,
And everyone you meet.
Say hello to friends you know,
And everyone you meet.
Why They're funny:
Friends you know? Um...ok? Wouldn't "friends you know well" work? Or "people you know"? Or would that just throw off the rhythm of the song?

Burl Ives', "A Holly Jolly Christmas"
The Funny Lyrics:
Have a cup of cheer
Why They're funny:
It sounds like this song is encouraging people to drink laundry detergent, although that's most likely NOT the "cheer" that Mr. Ives is referring to. But seriously, cheer is not a liquid, so it doesn't seem possible to have a cup of it.
