It's got a lot to do with the phrasing, how a verse ends and begins ... the melody is in many ways the same. "When Dukes and maharajas Pass the time of day with me I say me special word and then They ask me out to tea" "Because I was afraid to speak When I was just a lad My father gave me nose a tweak And told me I was bad But then one day I learned a word That saved me achin' nose" Get it????
