Let George Do It Lyrics

What's this fierce new change?
Has your juggernaut reached my door?
Am I out of range?
Think another thought before
Babies are ground up
In the last big round-up
Ease your head play it cool in a patio chair
Try to design a postcard from your mind
Piggy bank ooooo-whee
If it's Heaven-sent then you'll go far
Listen well to me
Smoke that 7 cent cigar
Can that rumble
And Avogadro's Number
[Chorus]
Polaroid galore
Snap my jelly roll
Count your change
For your midnight chore
Play that "sell-your-soul" exchange
Menthol filter tips
Danglin' from your nether lip
[Chorus]
If John Doe writes another book
With words that just won't quit
Why must I forge through it?
Let George do it

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.
