Grasshopper Lyrics

400 miles down the Mexican coast
got a lot waggle in a rainbow of smoke
surf seven sisters all day long
drinking mescal at the sundown tong

I was like a grasshopper sitting on a vine
along come a senorita say your mind
feng shui gringo Aeropostale
you can stay with me Justin also rolled

kissing her lips and rolling on the beach
baby stay here work for family
downtown cokes in at panhandle slims
my brothers on a plane not much different than him

o' Lord give me one more day
I'll be a good boy the rest of my days
o 'Lord if you give me one small sign
I'll be a good boy the rest of my life

I was like a grasshopper sitting on a vine
she saw me coming saw me coming for miles
I am the lord of darkness and wii
violins mustaches and a spinning whirlygig

got a baby girl and she looks like mom
black curly and a devil's smile
Got a Maserati and my name is Daryl
Doc Ellis on acid lives for one more day

d give me one more day
I'll be a good boy the rest of my days
o 'Lord if you give me one small sign
I'll be a good boy the rest of my life

When I Win the Lottery

400 miles down the Mexican coast
got a lot waggle in a rainbow of smoke
surf seven sisters all day long
drinking mescal at the sundown tong

I was like a grasshopper sitting on a vine
along come a senorita say your mind
feng shui gringo Aeropostale
you can stay with me Justin also rolled

kissing her lips and rolling on the beach
baby stay here work for family
downtown cokes in at panhandle slims
my brothers on a plane not much different than him

o' Lord give me one more day
I'll be a good boy the rest of my days
o 'Lord if you give me one small sign
I'll be a good boy the rest of my life

I was like a grasshopper sitting on a vine
she saw me coming saw me coming for miles
I am the lord of darkness and wii
violins mustaches and a spinning whirlygig

got a baby girl and she looks like mom
black curly and a devil's smile
Got a Maserati and my name is Daryl
Doc Ellis on acid lives for one more day

d give me one more day
I'll be a good boy the rest of my days
o 'Lord if you give me one small sign
I'll be a good boy the rest of my life

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.
