Poor Howard Lyrics

Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard, poor boy
Left me here to jump for joy

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Poor Howard's been and gone
Poor Howard's been and gone
Poor Howard's been and gone
And left me here to sing this song

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Where you been since I been gone
Where you been since I been gone
Where you been since I been gone
With the great big man with a derby on

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

All I want in this creation
Pretty little girl and a big plantation
Four little kids to call me Papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

All I want in this creation
Pretty little wife and a big plantation
Four little kids to crawl on me
Four little kids to love me

All I want in this creation
A pretty little wife with a big plantation
Four little kids to call me Papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

All I want in this creation
Pretty little wife and a big plantation
Four little kids to call me Papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard, poor boy
Poor Howard, poor boy
Left me here to jump for joy

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Poor Howard's been and gone
Poor Howard's been and gone
Poor Howard's been and gone
And left me here to sing this song

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

Where you been since I been gone
Where you been since I been gone
Where you been since I been gone
With the great big man with a derby on

Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on
Pretty little girl with a red dress on

All I want in this creation
Pretty little girl and a big plantation
Four little kids to call me Papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

All I want in this creation
Pretty little wife and a big plantation
Four little kids to crawl on me
Four little kids to love me

All I want in this creation
A pretty little wife with a big plantation
Four little kids to call me Papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

All I want in this creation
Pretty little wife and a big plantation
Four little kids to call me Papa
Four little kids to drive me crazy

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.
