Timeline for lyrics differ from song? Is there a " 'cause " in the song "It's a jungle out there"?

Singers change words all the time, even when they didn't write the lyrics to begin with. The changing has a name: "folk-processing". It is a fruitful source of the errors called, affectionately,"mondegreens" (q.v.) | |

| Nov 1, 2016 at 22:39 | comment | added | choster | The version of a theme song that is actually broadcast very often differs from the "full" studio version of the song, especially if it is a reworked pop song (or other). Moreover, "official" lyrics tend to reflect the song as it was originally intended to be recorded, as opposed to actually recorded. Quite a few album jacket lyrics I've seen are quite wrong. Where can we find the "official" lyrics for this song, and is this clip from the song as used on the show or as recorded for album release or radio play? | |
