Nisse ville sjöman bli,
segla till Jamaica.
Beska piller fick han då,
tvångströja fick han också
om den breda, ludna bringan.

Själv har jag upptäckt två låtar vars melodier är så kompatibla att man kan sjunga varannan rad:
Staffan var en stalledräng
Vem kan ro utan åror?
Han vattnade sina fålar fem
Utan att fälla tårar
Vem kan segla förutan vind?
Vi tackom nu så gärna
Vem kan skiljas från vännen sin
Allt för den ljusa stjärna?
Något som inte går fram så bra i text här är hur jag sjunger ”Fjäriln vingad” till melodin ”Vintern rasat” och tvärtom. (Bamsesignaturen och ”Solen glimmar” funkar också.)
