In The Basement Lyrics

I'm not going down the stairs no more
There's something here living under the floor
I haven't seen it, but I know it's there
Now I'm so scared I wet my underwear

That's why
I don't want to go down down down in the basement
I don't want to go down down down in the basement
Tonight

Late at night when I'm in my bed
I pull the covers up over my head
I hear it creeping up from down below
It's come to take me where I don't want to go

That's right
I don't want to go down down down in the basement
I don't want to go down down down in the basement
I don't want to go down down down in the basement
I don't want to go down down down in the basement
Tonight

I don't want to go down in the basement tonight
I don't want to go down in the basement tonight
I don't want to go down in the basement tonight
I don't want to go down in the basement tonight

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.
