Meter is as important as rhyme. I needed a two syllable word to fit the melody.
I know.
I think the meter is off using "urine".
Count the syllables.
No the meter is right in the current version.
E-ven if the ur-ine will go (8) Through a flesh-y sort of dil-do (8)
But the comma should come after through (even though you didn't add it like you did in the other verses).
"Even if her urine will go through,
a fleshy sort of dildo"
vs
"Even if her pee will go through,
A fleshy sort of dildo"
Just seems to flow better
Through doesn’t rhyme with dildo in this version. The ends of the lines need to rhyme.
Meter wise it also doesn’t work at all
In the original, “will go” rhymes with “dildo”
Sure, on paper it seems correct, but the brain is trained to say the phrase "go through" as two words meant to be said together, without giving pause between them.
By requiring that pause, and splitting them up into two different lines in the song, it seems more forced.
Hence, my thought it seemed to flow better.
