Jean Claude Jaquettie Lyrics

Jean Claude Jaquettie, with his jacket on.
Jean Claude Jaquettie, with his jacket off.
Jean Claude Jaquettie, with his jacket on.
Jean Claude Jaquettie, with his jacket off.
Jacket on,
Jacket off,
Jacket on,
Jacket off... Wooooo Stylish!!
Wooooo Wokkaman!
Runnin' round Paris... with a tiny haversack,
Look into the future (with a telescope)
Drawing on the past with an eagle claw, eagle claw, WHY? Eagle claw, eagle claw.
bobaboingboing!
Take a fashion coin,
Slot in in the pocket of your bum bag,
take it to Milan,
take it to Japan,
take it to the man with the fashion plan.
JACKETTE!!!

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.

I always thought that "Drawing on the past with an eagle claw, eagle claw, why?" means 'why bother about things that already happened. Chill out, man.'
