So, you think that it was a simple grammatical error? I think not. Songs are proofread. Songs are intentional. No songsmith would write a song with a dangling participle or any other error of grammar or fact; the public simply wouldn't accept it. Just look at such songs as "Purple People Eater" or "The George Bush Blues" or "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer."

No. The facts are plainly stated, and there must be some explanation.
