Wild-Eyed Gypsies Lyrics

Little money, goin' down to Mexico
Take up with some crazy Spanish Lady
Listen to the old wind blow
She got earrings and she dances
I'm an old rusty razor blade

I'll take my chances
I just ain't near as sharp
As the day I was made

I said, "Look out there goes another"
Well, they're gypsies

I drink to?

Just one more, man, then I'm goin' home
No, Pal, we're just as crazy as the others
One more well ?
Gypsy who lives alone

I said, "Look out there goes another"
Well, they're gypsies

I said, "Look out there goes another"
Well, they're gypsies

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.
