You Probably Get That a Lot [Multimedia Track] Lyrics

Do you mind, excuse me
I saw you over there
Can I just tell you

Although there are millions of
Cephalophores that wander through this world
You've got something extra going on
I think you probably know

You probably get that a lot
I'll bet that people say that a lot to you, girl

The way you swing your head while strolling fancy free
Or melting down some army guys to make green tea

Though there are millions of
Cephalophores that wander through this world
You've got something extra going on
I think you probably know

You probably already know
You act like I am stating the obvious

It's the way you swing your head while strolling fancy free
Or melting down some army guys to make green tea

As the headless horseman said to his associate
The bodiless baboon's been cradled in his arms

Although millions of cephalophores are marching past my door
They're invisible to me, except for one cephalophore

You probably get that a lot
I'll bet that people say that a lot while you
Are sarcastically lip-syncing along
To words they felt were spoken spontaneously

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.
