Even better! All these years we've been teasing my niece because we thought it was cute that when she was a little girl she thought it was a happy song about how the people had a fondness for sheep. None of us thought to question whether she had heard the line correctly. Not that it makes much difference; it just makes the line more poetic and inclusive.
Anyway, we weren't as smartypants as we thought we were.
