Nickelback RockStar lyrics - does anyone else remember the word hooker in the original unedited version?

I have a $5 bet with my daughter. I remember the first time I heard the song Rockstar, it said the word 'Hookers' in place of 'girls'. in addition to the other words, which she isnt arguing. Can anyone else remember it?

Update:

again, I believe it was in the unedited, not pc version that is played on the radio or was released on the album. it was the video, it came out on vh1 I think, and I know I heard the word hookers in there somewhere. Thanks Stevie B but I need a little more concrete answer if I'm going to win this bet! ;^)

Update 2:

Thanks everybody.

    No the word hookers is not in the song Rockstar by Nickelback. That is my favorite songs and I listen to it over and over and never once heard the word hookers in place of girls in the unedited version

    I have the CD, and the word "hooker" isn't in the lyrics on the CD. They may have said it at a live show somewhere, but not on the studio version.

    Although they do say that the girls come easy... which indicates that they aren't exactly the morally upstanding young women that people associate with church groups... Doesn't mean they're hookers, though.

    I think your both right.

    I think there are 3 versions (album, radio and unedited).

    I heard an unedited version on satellite radio that said "the girls come easy and the hookers come cheap" but the album version is below:

    "I'm through with standing in line

    to the clubs i'll never get in

    It's like the bottom of the ninth

    and I'm never gonna win

    This life hasn't turned out

    quite the way I want it to be

    (tell me what you want

    I want a brand new house

    on an episode of Cribs

    And a bathroom I can play baseball in

    And a king size tub big enough

    for ten plus me

    (yeah,so what you need)

    I'll need a, a credit card that's got no limit

    And a big black jet with a bedroom in it

    Gonna join the mile high club

    At thirty-seven thousand feet

    (Been there done that)

    I want a new tour bus full of old guitars

    And my own star on Hollywood Boulevard

    Somewhere between cher and

    James Dean is fine for me

    (So how ya gonna do it?)

    I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame

    I'd even cut my hair and change my name

    [CHORUS]

    'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

    Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

    We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat

    And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

    In the VIP with the movie stars

    Every good gold digger's

    Gonna wind up there

    Every Playboy bunny

    with her bleach blonde hair

    and well..

    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

    I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels

    Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes

    Sign a couple autographs

    So I can eat my meals for free

    (I have a quesadilla... on the house)

    I'm gonna dress my ***

    with the latest fashion

    Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion

    Gonna date a centerfold that loves to

    blow my money for me

    (So how ya gonna do it?)

    I'm gonna trade this life

    For fortune and fame

    I'd even cut my hair

    And change my name

    'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars

    Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

    We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat

    And we'll hang out in the coolest bars

    In the VIP with the movie stars

    Every good gold digger's

    Gonna wind up there

    Every Playboy bunny

    with her bleach blonde hair

    And we'll hide out in the private rooms

    With the latest dictionary

    in today's who's who

    We'll get you anything

    with that evil smile

    Everybody's got a

    drug dealer on speed dial

    well..

    Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

    I'm gonna sing those songs

    that offend the censors

    Gonna pop my pills

    from a pez dispenser

    Get washed-up singers writing all my songs

    Lip sync 'em every night so I don't get 'em wrong

    Well we all just wanna be big rockstars

    Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars

    The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap

    We'll all stay skinny cause we just won't eat

    And we'll hang out in the coolest bars
