Song about right reverend fellow (5)
I believe the answer is:
larry
'fellow' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'song about right reverend' is the wordplay.
'song' becomes 'lay' (poetic term for a song).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'right reverend' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation in ecclesiastical titles).
'lay' placed around 'rr' is 'LARRY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for larry that I've seen before include "Proverbially happy fellow" , "happy man" .)
