Was watching Match Game with Gene Rayburn, and he sang a verse from an old song I'd never heard. I looked it up, and there are a bunch of verses, but this is what he sang. Looks like it could be from the 1930s.
I was down behind the henhouse on my knees, (Oh Mon'ah)
When I thought I heard a chicken sneeze. (Oh Mon'ah)
You shall be free, oh lordie lordie,
Oh Mon'ah, oh yes you shall be, yes you shall be free
When the good Lord sets you free!
Oh, Monah!
Oh, Monah!
You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
Re: Oh, Monah!
I need an interpretation of that one. 
(And why did Gene Rayburn sing this on the Match Game??)

I think the clue reminded him of it somehow. Everyone knew it, too, they were singing and the audience was clapping in time.
