"Israelites"
Misheard Lyrics: Get up in the morning, ache in me head, sir
Taste in me mouth like a parrot that's dead Ooh, ooh, me ears are alight. Original Lyrics: Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed Poor me, the Israelite. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: P. Harris A commercial ran on British TV a few years back using 'The Israelite(s)' as the soundtrack. The lyrics were completely, deliberately and hilariously wrong, including the 'me ears are alight' line. |
