Welcome to the Cheap Seats Lyrics

Laugh when he jokes, slap him when he chokes.

It's time to give up the smokes.

And ohh when he cries don't wipe his eyes,

take the wine from the swine,

and remind him of his crimes.

Ohh in another world............

yeah he could wear a dress.

Imagine his surprise when he opened his eyes,

and I'd run the lawnmower over his thighs.

Imagine the disturbance,

at the time of the occurrence,

when his life became a burden,

and we laughed at his cries.

Welcome to the cheap seats,

where your life's seen through cracked spectacles.

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'd be interested if anyone has any clue about what this is about as it's always baffled me. Is it just about a very sad guy who smokes and drinks a lot and has cracked spectacles? What's the line about running a lawnmower over his thighs about? Does the man who is the subject of the song have very hairy thighs?! An AI summary says it's about a 16 year old buying condoms but I think AI has maybe confused this with Madness's 'Welcome to the House of Fun' as other than perhaps the word 'welcome' I can't see any reason for that explanation!
