Classic Masher Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saw you coming my way, put my nose in a book
Some crap that you gave me or something that I took
Man, he looked so good it had to be ooze leather
He’s so together oozing like I never could

[Chorus]
I bet he’s a classic masher
He toot toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you

[Verse 2]
He’s playing dumb, you’re looking at clothes
Straightening his hat, Mr. Shnook ho-hum
I shoulda shook his hand I never used to feel bad
Never felt so blue, guess I never amused you

[Chorus] (x2)
I bet he’s a classic masher
He toot toots when he likes the view
Tête-à-tête with his haberdasher
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you

[Outro]
They talk boots while they’re laughing at you (x8)

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.

I think this is about a guy that's following his significant other while she is with other guy, the narrator explains how this other man looks better than him but it's somewhat of a douchebag that obviously takes this girl for granted and even laughs at her with his haberdasher while she's looking at clothes. While witnessing this, the narrator sinks into sadness as he realizes that she prefers being with that guy even though he doesn't appreciate her as much as the narrator.
