Well,
Thank you to all of those who have responded to my question.
I certainly was not expecting such a lively discussion but I am glad that it has highlighted the complexities of English as well. As a native speaker of English, it's hard to recognize the quirks of your language until those who speak English as a second language point it out.
In spite of the clarification offered that the artist is saying "a loh'os," I cannot hear this either. But I will have to put my OCD aside and accept that the official lyrics don't precisely match what he is saying.
Thanks again!
