Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody.
This page contains all the misheard lyrics for My Oh My that have been submitted to this site and the old collection from inthe80s started in 1996.

I've been sick of Lillian loving in this bed you know
I've been sick of laying up in this bed you know
It takes a lotta love my friend
To stop your heart from phrasing
It takes a lotta love my friend
To stop your heart from freezing
Misery deep in the royal heart
Mystery deep in the royal heart
I suppose this isn't really humorous. In fact, I think what I heard makes more sense in the context of the song, considering that the next line is about 'crying at night'. But every lyrics sight I've looked at says it's 'mystery' not 'misery'.
My oh my, do you wanna say goodbye
To half the kingdom, baby, tell me why
My oh my, do you wanna say goodbye
To have the kingdom, baby, tell me why
Prince, oh prince, are you really sincere
That you one day are gonna disappear
Prince, oh prince, are you really sincere
Bet you one day you're gonna disappear
So let's all sing together my oh my
You've got troubles of your own,
no need to face them on a bone
So let's all swing together my oh my
You've got troubles on your own,
no need to face them all alone
So let's sew strings together, my oh my.
So let's all swing together, my oh my.
To have the kiddos
To have the kingdom
