Can I Do The Thing? Lyrics

Can I do the thing? If you let me do the thing I'll be happy as a king and I'll do the same for you. Can I have a gun? If you let me have a gun our two hearts will beat as one and I'll let you have one too. I had a dream. Somebody was doing something and I think something may have been said, I forget, but then the whole wide world turned a rosy red. Can I do it some more? If you let me do it more I'll tell you what we do it for and I'll let you do it too. Can I do the thing? No, you can't. If you let me do the thing I'll be happy as a king and I'll let you do it too cha cha cha.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Damn, there needs to be more MTX discussion here. No one can mix humor, truth, and cleverness better than Dr. Frank. The whole bop-innocence teetering on the edge of perversity deal in this song is genius. Real pop punk.
