Wonderful World Lyrics

Just left school, can't find no work
Be a building labourer or an office clerk
Cant believe the men you've seen
On the scrapheap and you're only seventeen

What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is

Standing on the corner, waiting for a bus
Old Bill come and try to nick you for SUS
You try tell them that youve done nothing wrong
They tell you not to sing the same song

What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is

Standing in the pub on your own for the night
Group of nutters try to pick a fight
You can try and plead for your life
They'll still cut you with a fucking great knife

What a wonderful world
What a wonderful world this is

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.
