There are two versions of the song. I believe yours is the Broadway stage version and the other is the movie version. (I could have it backwards or be wrong entirely.)
That used to happen with some of the edgier songs. I believe "Officer Krupke" from West Side Story was likewise changed. I believe the stage song has a line like "my grandma pushes tea" but the movie does not.

That wasn't the only line changed - the very last line of the song was changed to "Gee Officer Krupke - Krup you!"
The original line was "Gee Officer Krupke - F**k you!"
Gee, Office Krupke - I wonder why they changed it?
