Elton John, "Ballad of a Well-known Gun"
Misheard Lyrics:
I fold out 'The Stagecoach' toms*
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I'm sore - ain't new
The debutantes call out my bags
And ask me for my name
I stutter my answer
And hang my head in shame
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I'm sore - ain't new
The debutantes call out my bags
And ask me for my name
I stutter my answer
And hang my head in shame
Original Lyrics:
I pulled out my stagecoach times
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I saw they knew
The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
And asked me for my name
I stuttered out my answer
And hung my head in shame
And I read the latest news
I tapped my feet in dumb surprise
And of course I saw they knew
The Pinkertons pulled out my bags
And asked me for my name
I stuttered out my answer
And hung my head in shame
Ah, AM radio - where muffled lyrics mean you need to use your imagination. *tom derives from Cockney Rhyming Slang - 'Sir Thomas More' = whore
