Austin Lyrics

Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Driving a wedge in my mind
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Cutting off my skull

What're we gonna do with these bones?
What're we gonna do with these bones?
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Bring 'em to Stubb's

JF: "Ladies and gentlemen, we're They Might Be Giants of Brooklyn, New York. It's a stone cold gas to be here at Stubb's tonight. On the drums, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Marty Beller from New York City. On the superbass, direct from New York City, it's Mr. Daniel Weinkauf. Just back from his vacation in New York City, from New York City on the electric guitar, Mr. Dan Miller. My name's John. He's John. We're from New York City, (JL: "Hello.") thanks for coming out."

Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Removing the back of my skull

Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Cutting a notch in my mind

What're we gonna do with these bones?
What're we gonna do with these bones?
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Stubb's! (Ooh!)
Bring 'em to Stubb's

"Thank you very much."

Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Driving a wedge in my mind 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Cutting off my skull

What're we gonna do with these bones? 
What're we gonna do with these bones? 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Bring 'em to Stubb's

Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Removing the back of my skull

Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Cutting a notch in my mind

What're we gonna do with these bones? 
What're we gonna do with these bones? 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Stubb's! (Ooh!) 
Bring 'em to Stubb's

"Thank you very much."

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.
