I actually didn't think there were any songs with "deride" in them.

The only other song that I know of with "deride" in the lyrics is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, which has been mentioned in this thread. It also includes the line, "So I chaffed at them and gaily laughed..." and I had to look up the meaning of the verb "to chaff," which I have never encountered in the myriad of publications I have read or songs that I have heard.

Chaffing and deriding, all in one song.

They don't make bands like the Platters anymore!
