In Germany this mishearing of song texts is often called "Agathe Bauer"
after misheard lyrics of the hit song "I got the Power" (by Snap i think).
The fun part of this "Agathe Bauer" effect is that if you are told what you
should hear you do actually hear exactly that (even if the original is in
a total other language).
There are tons of "Agathe Bauer" videos on YT. Of course they only work
if you know how to pronounce the given "misheard" line (on top, original below)
I will post one for fun, a few ones work in English so it might not be a total
loss for the most.
Another one with more English

I'll just add that the sheet music does indeed give the lyrics as stated in the original post and the Nuclear Netclub lyrics page. Note that I don't know whether any of the band members participated in the transcription process and that it doesn't list any possible variations which maybe sung under the instrumental layers. However, since later live versions seem to match this, I think it accurately reflects the studio version.
