and Other Misheard Lyrics

Our lips are sealed

Last night I dreamt of San Pedro
She ripped up her douche in the middle of the night
Wrapped up like a douche/Another boner in the night from

Revved up like deuce/Another runner in the night.

Several readers have sent me lyrics that they misheard or their
friends misheard. You can
submit lyrics, too. As I have time, I'll add them here. Don't
get me wrong, I'm not trying to collect the greatest collection of
misheard lyrics or anything. Don't feel compelled to send me
everything you've ever misheard.
