The Meaning of Songs

Kids tend to mangle songs. We all know "On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese." There is a beautiful old hymn called "In the Garden." The refrain goes like this:

"And He walks with me, and He talks with me, and He tells me I am His own.
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
No other has ever known."

Generations of young girls have loved this hymn because they have boyfriends named ANDY.

We won't even go into what little boys do with "There is a Balm in Gilead."
