Story about this misheard lyric by: Ronald Cowan

I was in a vocational workshop, and this song was on the radio. I was not paying attention to the lyrics, so that is what I thought I heard. I nearly wet my pants laughing and had to explain it to the guy running the workshop. Luckily, I heard it right the next time they sang the line in the song.
