Story about this misheard lyric by: SusanJH

After mishearing the lyric, I was real surprised the first time I saw Janis Ian and realized she didn't look like a rabbit. I had envisioned her with big ears and truly enormous front teeth, like the Trix cereal rabbit.

Who married young and then retired.
Why They're Misrhymed:
