"Hot eggs, you're swimming with trout..."

For years and years since about 1971, I've been listening to "Maggie May" by Rod Stewart. Well, not every minute of these past 49 years but at least 500 times I've heard that song either on the radio or from my music collection.
Not even my favorite Rod Stewart song but I've heard it probably the most out of the Rod Stewart songs on account of it being so popular and all. ("In A Broken Dream" is my favorite Rod Stewart song and he recorded it with a band that called themselves Python Lee Jackson).
So anyway, I've heard the song a bunch of times. And there is a verse in that song that I always heard like this:
I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of frying food
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
At least, that's the way I always heard it. But thanks to the Internet, I happened to look at the lyrics tonight and saw that the lyrics referred to "playing pool" and not "frying food"
Then I go to listen to the song again and I still hear "frying food" instead of "playing pool."
You should give it a listen for yourselves. I'm sticking with frying food - I don't care what the lyrics say. I think they call that a mondegreen.
Besides, Rod Stewart looks a little like Gordon Ramsay. I think they call that a doppelganger. So I say frying food - not playing pool.
Oh, I could say I need you
But then you’d realize
That I want you
Just like a thousand other guys
Who’d say they loved you
Like all the rest of their lies
When all they wanted
Was to touch your face your hands
And gaze into your thighs
Thanks for the warning. I’ll watch out for the gator. :-)
No, no, no.
Its “Hot legs - You’re wearing me out!”
Like those two Gifs you posted. They just won’t stop.
;-)
Its “Bad moon on the rise”!
Jeez this is going to take all night!
;-)
Can’t remember if I already asked but which one’s the old one?
;-)
If you get pulled over tomorrow its probably because you’re dragging a gator on a chain behind you.
Its been fun. ;-)
Know that one, that will get us banned?
No - you got that one exactly right. ;-)
And I think it's gonna be a long long time 'Till touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no no no I'm a rocket man Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone
For decades I thought it was:
burning up the shoes off everyone
That didn't really make sense to me, but I thought it was a song about space, so maybe it was possible?...😏
(I guess next you'll be trying to tell me that these Mormons here aren't singing "I'm A Lu-Lu!".)
