A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

Something funny happened to me and my mom driving home from the mall about a month ago, when the song "Big Ol' Jet Air Liner" came on the radio in the car. I realized already that this was a very commonly misheard song (and with good reason), but was pretty sure I had the right lyrics. So come the chorus, my mom and I (who had not been singing along to the rest of the song) sang two different lines. Mind you, my own came out very loudly as I was trying to sound like an idiot. I guess I got more than I bargained for:

My mom: "Big Ol' Jet Air Liner"
Myself: "BINGO JED HAD A LIGHTER!!"

I am laughing so hard right now I can hardly type properly. I swear to god, listen to the song and sing that lyric along to it, it sounds exactly like that. I still sing it like that because it's so much funnier.
