Building Mondegreens #4

You are given two clues. Solve them both and you will get a mondegreen. A mondegreen is the mishearing or misinterpretation of a phrase that gives it an entirely different meaning. For instance, if your answer to Part 1 was "Know" and Part 2 was "Ozark", your final answer would be Noah's Ark.
Say the answers to Part 1 and Part 2 out loud--it might help you hear the mondegreen.

Fun quiz, although some are a bit tenuous. Rooibos is pronounced roo-bosh - haven't heard another pronounciation. Camomile is a standard spelling but isn't accepted.

Huh. Both dictionaries I checked say it’s pronounced like the clue suggests. Might be a regional variant. I did add camomile as a type-in, and it even seems more common. Anyway, thanks for feedback!
