You're a real tough cookie with a long-eared siree.

The story:

It wasn't actually me who misheard the lyrics, but a girl on the
school bus when I was a kid. We were both in middle school, and
the song had just came out. She was writing the lyrics down from
memory as we rode to school one morning and I asked if I could
see them. I think I was actually stunned into silence. I couldn't for
the life of me figure out what a "long-eared siree" was. I think I
told her what the correct lyrics were, but I seem to recall (this was
25+ years ago) that she didn't believe me.
