My Body Lied With Such Devotion

Sing this to an Old Sea Chanty

Remember the old song
My Bonnie lies over the ocean?
My Bonnie lies over the sea?
It would not leave my mind alone yesterday, so I changed it up.
Feel free to sing this: 

My body lied with such a devotion!
My body lied to him, you and me!
Rumors were put into motion.
Oh bring back my fibbing to me!

Bring back!
Bring back!
Bring back my fibbing to me, to me.

LOL. I hate to get a song stuck in my head. It can be a major deterrent to decent writing.
