I Don't Want to Forget How to Jive Lyrics

I don't wanna forget how to jive
Get my mookie, keep 'em alive, baby
Don't wanna lose ya
Goodbye, a-huh, huh, yeah

I don't wanna forget how to rock
Lose, wearin' toll
Well, it show ya, oh yeah, oh well, well

I don't wanna forget how to jive
I just wanna keep 'em alive
I don't wanna forget how to die
I just cold shower

Don't wanna forget how to jive
Went bobbin' with a bip-bop
Bop bop bop bop bop
Billy bop, a-billy a-bop, a-billy a-bop bop bop bop bill bop
Uh-huh, oh yeah

I don't wanna lose ya
I don't want you
Shush my dragon
You got new chil'
Ow!

I don't wanna fotget how to jive
I just wanna feel alive
I don't wanna forget how to rock
No child
Don't wanna forget how to jive
Went boppin'...{fade}

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.
