Younger girl, two tables over was singing, "There's a bathroom on the right". lol

Of course, another classic is Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze. Instead of 'Scuse me while I kiss the sky' some thought it was 'Scuse me while I kiss this guy'. Hey, whatever works.

that I got all the lyrics.

You could always rely on, "There's a bathroom on the right," instead of "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise." I like that one.
