The original was @!*#! me, but they changed it for obvious reasons!

It's not just the line "Don't marry her, have (Instead of the naughty word) me" in that song. The naughty version also has the line "She'll grab your Betty Swollox (Spoonerism), Then slowly raise her knee." That then becomes "She'll grab your Sandra Bullock's, Then slowly raise her knee."

I've sometimes sung the words the artiste was clearly singing, only to find out later that the lyricist had written something slightly different.

I think the OP should have said "sung" not "sang".
