She says more “theeeeeeis”, there’s a hint of an “is” sound at the end of the word.

I don’t get it. It’s meant to rhyme with “disagree”, and it’s not like the song is interpreted differently if it’s “these” vs “this”.

it’s called a slant rhyme, and it is the playground of the devil.

See: “Here I am, rock you like a hurricane” for another famous example of two words rhyming that don’t.
