Misheard Song Lyrics -> Stories -> Henry Lee Summer

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. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Henry Lee Summer's, "I Wish I Had A Girl"
The Misheard Lyrics:
Wish I had a girl to wash my back.
The Real Lyrics:
Wish I had a girl who walked like that.
The Story: When my husband and I first started dating this song was popular. It came on the radio and he started singing the misheard lyrics. I just about died laughing. At first I though he was kidding and then I realized he really thought that's what it said! That was 15 years ago and I still tease him about it! - Submitted by: Lynn Tate
