A child learns a song and changes every ending

Our preschooler has learnt a short song and insists on inventing a new last line each time. I'm torn between teaching the conventional ending and enjoying the nonsense version. Is there any reason not to keep both?

Sing the usual version once and then invite the child's version; both can exist.

  I think we can keep the original and the extraordinary alternate endings.

The improvisation sounds like half the fun, not an error to fix.
