Indeed it was. Pretty funny excerpt from the wiki on the song
Manfred Mann's Earth Band's recording of the song features several changed lyrics. The most prominent change is in the chorus, where Springsteen's "cut loose like a
deuce" is replaced with "revved up like a deuce."
[2][3][4] This is
commonly misheard as "wrapped up like a
douche" (the V sound in "revved" is almost unpronounced, and the S sound in "deuce" comes across as "SH" due to a significant
lisp)."
[5][6] Springsteen himself has joked about the controversy, claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a
feminine hygiene product that it became popular.
