Good Company Lyrics

My doctor told me if my headache gets much worse
The best thing that I can do is get myself a nurse
Let her give me the kiss of life and after that
You watch my headache disappear three seconds flat
And as you know, I don't really want you to go
For I would much rather you stay with me
Be on hand when I need good company
, The other morning I forget now where I'd been
Some fella cornered me said "hey man what's your scene?"
I told him frankly that I wasn't in a play
That if I was I wouldn't give my scene away
And as you know I don't really want you to go
For I would much rather you stay with me
Be on hand when I need good company
Altogether everybody turn and touch your toes
When I stop to give the signal
That's when I would like you
That's when I would like you
To go oh...oh
Muhammad Ali better known as Cassius Clay
Boy what a boxer he was and still is today
I had a go myself once thought that I was him
But unlike Muhammad baby I could never win
And as you know I don't really want you to go
For I would much rather you stay with me
Be on hand when I need
Much rather you stay with me
Be on hand when I need good company

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.
