Hoops Lyrics

We live on the Rue Marceau
Vingt-et-un le numéro

We play in zee Park Marceau
Everyday it's there we go

We do things Mama don't know
She too busy with her beau

And everyday we hop and skip
And fight and jump and fall down

We don't care how bad we are
We only get a call down

After school how ?
And we do not give a good big damn

We play 'oops et ra-ra-ra
Et rat-tat-tan
We bump into zee big fat man
We play 'oops in the park all day

Mama, she scold, she say, "Eh, eh, eh!"
You mustn't knock over the gentleman with the whip

And we play 'oops
And we write words upon big fence
For only forty malipense
All day long we play avec les 'oops

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.
