Hats on Wrong Lyrics

Dancing like a chimney sweep
I look ridiculous
All hands and feet
The hat's on wrong (x3)
The hat's on
It's wrong, wrong, wrong.
The skulls are just like stepping stones
The river's littered with little bones
The hat's on wrong (x3)
The hat's on
It is on wrong, wrong...
It's on wrong, wrong...
The grass is green
The sky is blue
My feet are bound in bamboo
The hat's on wrong (x3)
The hat's on
It's on wrong, wrong, wrong
It's on wrong, wrong
The hat is on wrong, wrong
My hat is on wrong, wrong
On my skull
Look at me, my hat is on wrong
My hat's on wrong

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.
