Rudi, a Message to You Lyrics

Stop with your messin around
You'd better think of your future
It's time you straighten right out
Creating problems in town

Ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee

Stop with your messin around
You'd better think of your future
It's time you straighten right out
Or else you'll wind up in jail

Ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee

A message to you, ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee (that's right, that's right, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee (that's right, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee (oh, that's right, that's right, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee (stop with your messin around)
A message to you, ru-deee (you'd better think of your future)
A message to you, ru-deee (it's time you straighten right out)
A message to you, ru-deee (creating problems in town, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee (that's right, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee (that's right, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee (that's right, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee (that's right, that's right)
A message to you, ru-deee

Ha ha ha ha ha! I had to do the stupid laugh at the end, didn't I?
Didn't I? get outta here!

Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel

Stop with your messin around
You'd better think of your future
It's time you straighten right out
Creating problems in town

Ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee

Stop with your messin around
You'd better think of your future
It's time you straighten right out
Or else you'll wind up in jail

Ru-deee
A message to you, ru-deee

Ha ha ha ha ha! I had to do the stupid laugh at the end, didn't I? 
Didn't I? get outta here!

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.
