Favourite lyrical puns

This has been done for song titles, but not for individual lyrics. So you can submit your favourites here. And I'd LOVE to see some non-English ones, along with translations. (Tho I expect that those are rarer than the English ones, because of the smaller vocabularies.)

Here's a couple:

"I knew you were under duress/I knew you were under your dress!" (Captain Beefheart, "My Human Gets Me Blues")

"A horse that lives for a year is a yearling, right? So, a horse that lives for a week: Is it a weakling?" (MX-80 Sound, "Facts-Facts")
