The Beatles Lyrics

When I was born in '61, they already had a hit
And they worked so hard, and they, made it work
they really worked really good, and they deserved all their success
And they earned it, yes they did, they didn't
buy their respect

And everybody wanted to be like them
everybody wanted to be the beatles
And I really wanted to be like him but
but he died

the legendary rockgroup
did ?
Like a magical fariytale that's
hard to believe
But it really did happen
they were live and shook the world
God bless them
for what they've done

When I was born in '61, they already had a hit
And they worked so hard, and they, made it work
they really worked really good, and they deserved all their success
And they earned it, yes they did, they didn't
buy their respect

And everybody wanted to be like them
everybody wanted to be the beatles
And I really wanted to be like him but
but he died

the legendary rockgroup
did ?
Like a magical fariytale that's
hard to believe
But it really did happen
they were live and shook the world
God bless them
for what they've done

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.
