 It looks to me like the original Jerry Herman lyrics from the musical are
 also different to what is in the current plugin. It looks like this
 rendition is from a version of Louis Armstrong, but I can't find an
 official source that matches the lyrics in this plugin. Even so, these
 updates seem more accurate based on searches of several lyrics sites and
 based on the recorded performance by Louis Armstrong, neither of which
 include the "Find her a vacant knee, fellas" line at all.
