The fate of a song when the general public knows only its first verse. In some cases, like "The Star-Spangled Banner", most audiences are aware that it is a longer work with multiple verses but few can say that they know the words. In other cases, most audiences are unaware that the song has more than one verse, which can be a surprise when, as in Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," the second verse takes the song in a much different direction than the first. It can be difficult to distinguish this trope from the similar Chorus-Only Song; the difference is that in the Chorus-Only Song the chorus is known but no one remembers the verse, while in this trope the first verse is known but no one remembers the others. Sheet music publishers who print only the familiar stanzas can be blamed for this. Theme Tunes also tend to be subject to this. Contrast Single Stanza Song, where there's no second verse to be forgotten. |

Most people sing only the first stanza to "Happy Birthday to You!". Probably because the second verse is "How old are you now?", which can be seen as offensive or simply blunt, or they just want to get to the cake and presents (Maybe the birthday person doesn't like being asked that). The later-added "Are you one? Are you two?" and so on almost never get sung beyond a child's third or fourth birthday, unless the singers like messing with their family. | |

"The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" is best known as the Looney Tunes theme from 1938 onwards. Almost nobody alive today remembers the introductory verse, in which a man tells of his date with a woman at an amusement park, where they find time to "spark" while riding the titular merry-go-round. There's also a B-section that is unused in the LT version. | |

On the Dream SMP, the L'Manburg National Anthem is usually only known by its first verse, which was sung throughout the Pogtopia arc and written on the walls of the Button Room. The later verses, forming the "Completed Symphony", was completed by Ghostbur at the start of Season 2, and is known to relatively few in the fandom outside of the odd cover version and the Wiki. Even In-Universe, the only ones who knew of the later verses were Ghostbur and Quackity, and even then, the Minecraft-book containing the original lyrics of the "Completed Symphony" was destroyed in the Doomsday War, forcing the two to improvise verses. | |

The B-section lyrics ("It's a magic carpet ride, every door is open wide...") of Sesame Street's theme tune have only been sung once on the show, as part of a pledge drive special featuring Gladys Knight & The Pips. Nevertheless, the song in its lyrical entirety can be heard in various albums as well as the un-aired pilot originally sung by Bob McGrath. |

Discworld: Parodied with Ankh-Morpork's civic anthem "We Can Rule You Wholesale", which was written with this in mind: the second verse purposefully consists mostly of incomprehensible mumbling on the grounds that no one will remember it anyway. Also parodied in Monstrous Regiment where a character deliberately sings the second verse of the Borogravian anthem which no-one ever remembers and is then described as having an I'm-more-patriotic-that-you grin. |

"This Land Is Your Land," by Woody Guthrie, as noted above. It was, in fact, written as a rebuttal to "God Bless America" and intended as a "worker's national anthem."

Referenced to in Satou Kashi no Dangan wa Uchinukenai. Umino's father was once a well-known celebrity and he sung a popular song. Few remember the final verse and it has a peppy tune.

Many versions also omit the second verse, which begins "With little tin horns and little toy drums..." The Jackson 5's version notably includes it, and there are no doubt plenty of people who don't realise it's part of the original song and assume they made it up. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure mostly plays this straight, with longer versions of the opening that can generally only be heard in live shows or the OSTs. However, Part 4's anime averts it with its final opening. The intro does only use the first verse, sure... except that the Bites the Dust version starts with the second verse. So if you watch the normal and Bites the Dust versions of the opening, you will have heard the complete song. | |

The Pogo parody "Deck Us All with Boston Charlie" only has one verse, but few know more than the first half of it, because the rest was rarely (if ever) used in the strip itself. Kelly did eventually write more verses. A "compleat" lyric sheet can be found here. | |

Transformers: Animated: Its version of the Transformers opening theme is actually the only version to contain extra lyrics The show's second Japanese opening actually uses the second verse of their version of the show's opening theme, as well as a completely new animation for Megatron. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The extended theme song, which was released on the Songs of Ponyville album and Friendship Express DVD, but never used on the show itself(aside from the credits of later Japanese episodes), has three entirely new verses. "Love is In Bloom" from "A Canterlot Wedding, Part 2" has a second verse that is absent from the show, but present in the music video and on the OST: Likewise for the middle verse of "(I've Got To) Find a Way" from "Magical Mystery Cure": Ditto "Make a Wish" ("Starting out great and it just got better...") and "Let The Rainbow Remind You" ("Each one of us will sometimes falter..."). My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks intentionally invokes this with "Awesome As I Wanna Be", where the band is interrupted before the second verse. The soundtrack includes the full version. |

Although they are not technically "verses", many themes also have instrumental "B-section" stanzas that are rarely if ever actually broadcast. Doctor Who has a segment known as the "middle 8" that is sometimes heard as a regular part of the theme, but has been increasingly phased out since 2010 or so for time constraints, to the chagrin of die-hard fans. The theme for Star Trek: The Original Series likewise has a "middle 8" section that is heard throughout the original TV broadcasts, but is omitted in the 2009 film series, making the melody actually sound incomplete as a result. | |

In the stage version of The Little Mermaid, Triton's verse of "If Only" originally had a second phrase rhyming with the first ("I'm just getting over having lost her dear sweet mother, If I lose her too I don't know how I can go on"), but it was cut after the pre-Broadway tryout and is absent from the original cast album, though post-Broadway productions sometimes reinstate it. Similarly, "Human Stuff"(later dropped completely) had lyrics about an "ottoman"(hat), "boa"(concertina), and necklace in addition to the "dinglehopper" and "snarfblatt". Conversely, like the Aladdin example above, a few imported songs, e.g. "Fathoms Below", "Daughters of Triton", and "Part of Your World (Finale)" have additional lyrics that weren't used in the film. | |

"Arabian Nights" from Aladdin originally had three verses (four if you count the B-section), in addition to four reprises at various points in the story, but was cut down to a single stanza for the film. Some of the cut verses and reprises later appeared in the sequels, and more recently, all were restored in the stage musical. | |

Even though the full version of The Wombling Song made it into the UK charts, few remember that there's more to it than the first verse and chorus that comrise the opening theme to The Wombles. | |

Lee Ann Womack's cover of Rodney Crowell's "Ashes by Now" omits the second verse: "The second street beggars alone in their life / Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night / Like I am / They're just like I am". As Womack's version is the newer and more familiar version, most people may not even be aware of this verse. | |

The Toho Eurobeat song "Savior of the Sky", a vocal arrangement of the final boss theme from Touhou Seirensen ~ Undefined Fantastic Object, has two verses in the liner notes, but according to vocalist Travis Stebbins AKA Odyssey, the audio for the second verse was lost or corrupted, forcing Sugano to settle for a repeat of the first verse. | |

Look Alike, the vocal theme from Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie is pretty infamous for this. The soundtrack version consists of a verse, a chorus, a bridge and then a final runthrough of the chorus but in the movie itself there are several moments where the theme is heard in the background with completely different lyrics. It wouldn't be until decades later that a complete version of the song would be uncovered, revealing that there's an entire second verse missing and several cuts and shaves from the chorus, bridge and various instrumental sections, resulting in a song that's almost twice a long as the current, officially released version. | |

In Bejeweled, the bridge section of the Time Trial song "Data Jack" by Skaven is Dummied Out and can only be heard with a MOD tracker program (some trackers will ignore the loop point and play the unused patterns after the main song). In the song's original S3M file, the bridge plays normally in the middle of the song, though Skaven himself considers that version to be Canon Discontinuity. | |

The ending theme from The Transformers: The Movie has a full set of verses. On the OST of The Movie, the ending of "Death of Optimus Prime" has an additional 10-second Tear Jerker melody, leading some fans to incorrectly theorize that this part was used for Optimus crumbling into dust. |
