Kicks & Chicks Lyrics

You better can’t try to get me to work
No boy, my last dream won’t be disturbed
I don’t wanna live a life so quietly
I’m looking for a time dreadful excitingly

I wake up in the morning whenever I like
Don’t gonna wash my face but gotta hitchhike
Walking along these awful French roads
Thinking of work is making me loathe

Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks

I don’t care for money, I’m beat as hell
Paris and Rome are the places I dwell
As soon as I’m in Paris, I get my kicks
On Place du Tertre I find the chicks

Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks

Well I’m a bloody guy with a knack,
I read all the books of Jack Kerouac
He’s the only priest in my life,
He’s my resort, he and my knife

Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks

You better can’t try to get me to work 
No boy, my last dream won’t be disturbed
I don’t wanna live a life so quietly
I’m looking for a time dreadful excitingly

I wake up in the morning whenever I like
Don’t gonna wash my face but gotta hitchhike
Walking along these awful French roads
Thinking of work is making me loathe

Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks

I don’t care for money, I’m beat as hell 
Paris and Rome are the places I dwell
As soon as I’m in Paris, I get my kicks
On Place du Tertre I find the chicks

Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks

Well I’m a bloody guy with a knack,
I read all the books of Jack Kerouac
He’s the only priest in my life,
He’s my resort, he and my knife

Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks
Hang around, stick around, get your kicks

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.
