"There's a bathroom on the right."
That isn't the lyric.
What you hear
"There's a bathroom on the right."
What's actually sung
"There's a bad moon on the rise." Bad Moon Rising — Creedence Clearwater Revival (1969)
Why the ear defaults
John Fogerty's Louisiana-inflected vowels make "bad moon on the rise" rhyme with the mishearing. He's sung the wrong version live on purpose.
