Manfred Mann's, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Why They're Nonsensical:
'We was...'? Plural subjects take plural verbs. Another case of bad English from the English.

Manfred Mann's, "Quinn the Eskimo (The Mighty Quinn)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics:
I like to go just like the rest
I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Just ain't my cup of meat
I like my sugar sweet
But jumping queues and making haste
Just ain't my cup of meat
Why They're Nonsensical:
"Meat" instead of "tea" was used to force a rhyme with "sweet." A nice cup of ground round, anyone?
