Yep. Mishearing song lyrics is common. There’s even a word for it: mondegreen

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/mondegreen

a word or phrase that results from a mishearing especially of something recited or sung

Etymology
from the mishearing in a Scottish ballad of “laid him on the green” as “Lady Mondegreen”
