WOS (and Worst Grammar of Set, too): "Lay Lady Lay."  Bobby, I have no idea what you were thinking; record-buyers of America, same.

Guess that makes Bob the original rapper!

By virtue of bad grammar?

Mshray the grammarian to the rescue!

"Lie" is an intransitive verb, meaning it can NOT take a direct object.  It's past tense form is "lay" & past participle is "lain".

"Lay in a transitive verb, meaning it MUST take a direct object.  It's past tense form is "laid" & past participle is "laid".

so if bob was telling someone to "lay lady, lay" that would be correct? but since he's singing, "lay, lady, lay," it's incorrect? he should be singing, "lie, lady, lie?"

what an awful rhyme that would make.

Lay requires an object, so he should (if I read his intent correctly) say, "Lay yourself across my big brass bed."  And start unbuttoning while you're at it.

Ali, I don't just speak English, I teach it.  :wink:
