I Want the World to Know Lyrics

Slippin' and a-slidin', rockin' and a-riding
Rollin' back to Lady Jane
And can't you see the sun is shinin'
Temperature's a-risin'
Rood'n'doodee, what's your name?

Seven-forty-seven, flying over heaven
You could be a millionaire
And you could be a Rockefeller
Any kind of weather everybody, everywhere

I wanna be your brother
And I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your brother
Shake you by the hand

Come on, everybody, gonna have a party
Rock it all over the world
Come on and shake it all over, over and over
Down, down, come on and spread the word

I wanna be your brother
And I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your brother
And shake you by the hand

I want the world to know
Shake it, shake it, shake it
I want the world to know

I wanna be your brother
And I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your brother
Shake you by the hand

Shake it, shake it, shake it
I want the world to know
I wanna be your brother
I want the world to know

Shake it, shake it, shake it
I want the world to know
I wanna be your brother
I want the world to know

The Future's So Bright (I Gotta Wear Shades)

Slippin' and a-slidin', rockin' and a-riding
Rollin' back to Lady Jane
And can't you see the sun is shinin'
Temperature's a-risin'
Rood'n'doodee, what's your name?

Seven-forty-seven, flying over heaven
You could be a millionaire
And you could be a Rockefeller
Any kind of weather everybody, everywhere

I wanna be your brother
And I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your brother
Shake you by the hand

Come on, everybody, gonna have a party
Rock it all over the world
Come on and shake it all over, over and over
Down, down, come on and spread the word

I wanna be your brother
And I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your brother
And shake you by the hand

I want the world to know
Shake it, shake it, shake it
I want the world to know

I wanna be your brother
And I wanna be your friend
I wanna be your brother
Shake you by the hand

Shake it, shake it, shake it
I want the world to know
I wanna be your brother
I want the world to know

Shake it, shake it, shake it
I want the world to know
I wanna be your brother
I want the world to know

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.
