how would this be for a conversion?

Old: "Put another notch in my lipstick case"

New: "I'm indestructible...I'm the woman you can't waste"

Knowing that she usually lets the audience sing that lyric, wouldn't it be easier to make up a new one?

Sarg, any ideas?

Sincerely,

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff...

If this is in the wrong area, feel free to move.

Hmmm, I'll have to think about this one awhile.

Pat hates those lyrics and that's why she lets the audience sing them. She thinks that line is pretty outdated.
I would guess that she doesn't want to change the lyrics because she didn't write the song originally. I'm just speculating of course. Nobody said we can't change the lyrics on that line for the fun of it though. :D

How about....

Well you're the real tough cookie with the long history
Of breaking little hearts, like the one in me
Before I spray a little mase in your ugly face
You better make sure you put me in my place

Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Come On, Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!

:lol:

My 7 year old son has changed the lyrics to this song too, but in the chorus. He goes around singing at the top of his lungs:
"Henry was the best shot!" :lol:
