There are a whole bunch of these - either documented changes, or what they call "dummy lyrics" - generic or first-draft lyrics written more to hold the tune/rhythm of a passage while the lyricist works on the real thing. Sometimes these are really funny and/or truly awful. I have a small collection of these and can share after the holiday, once I get back to my home computer.
But I'll leave you with this - a dummy lyric for "My Favorite Things" - and no, I'm NOT making this up...
"Cute little babies that fall out of swings,
These are a few of my favorite things..."
