Here's a takeoff of a song from Sesame Street and I want you to guess what it is a takeoff of. (All I can say is that it is based on a song by Bud Luckey and Donald Hadley.)
The Queen Rosie of France and Her Seven Daughters
One two three four five six seven!
Said the Queen Rosie of France to her seven daughters,
"I'm feelin' mighty down.
Whichever of you can cheer me up
Will get to wear my crown."

Her first daughter brought seven scallop shells
From the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea.

The second gave her seven statues of men
With clocks where their stomachs should be.

The third daughter gave her seven onyx
From the sheikdom Down There Beneath.
The Queen thought the onyx were Cocoa Puffs,
And she broke off seven of her teeth.

The fourth daughter tried to cheer her up
With seven cherry drops.
The Queen said, "I'm sorry daughter,
Since that onyx episode, I just haven't got the chops."

The fifth daughter brought the Queen perfume
In seven jars of honeydew;
The Queen took a whiff, and she broke out in hives
'Cause it smelled like Pepe Le Pew.

The sixth daughter gave her seven diamond rings
To wear upon her toes.
The Queen snagged her foot on the royal red rug
And crumpled up her nose.

The seventh daughter of the Queen Rosie of France
Was a thoughtful little whelp.
She said, "Mommy, appears to me
That you could use a little help."

Said the Queen Rosie of France to her seventh daughter,
"My daughter, you win the crown.
You didn't bring me cookies or muffins, but
You helped me up when I was down.
Take the crown; it's yours, my daughter.
I hope you don't mind the rank.
I got it on sale at a discount store-
Cost me all of seven francs!"
Seven!

So can anybody guess what this song is a takeoff of?

No, that's not the answer, but somebody else may have a turn.

Also, see if you can find a word change that not only is related to the country this queen rules but also makes my version of the song more politically correct nowadays than the real version.

Throughout this imaginary portrayal of the song introduced in this thread, we see the Queen Rosie of France with blond hair. However, when the Queen Rosie of France awards her seventh daughter the crown at the end, we see that the blond hair is fake when she takes it off to dress her seventh daughter in it, and the queen's real hair is brown. Here's an analogy I want you to answer: Cocoa Puffs are to cherries as the Queen's fake hair is to _________. Can anybody fill in this analogy?
