Jimmy Boyd & Frankie Laine's, "Tell Me a Story"
Misheard Lyrics:
Came home so late one evening last July
Laid a little hooker the time had passed me by
Shoes in my hand and my darlin' wife in bed
Up the stairs sayin' a prayer
Original Lyrics:
Came home so late one evening last July
Played a little poker the time had passed me by
Shoes in my hand and my darlin' wife in bed
Up the stairs sayin' a prayer
