Bra Lyrics

So, goin’ down the Amazon in a red brick boat, uh.
Lookin’ for some secret treasure—hot with malaria
And I’ve got that map upside-down
Well, north, south, east, west, “X” still marks that spot
And I’m so tired; and if I fell asleep, I might not ever wake up
Oh, yeah.
(Various “ooo”s and “oh”s)
So, goin’ down the Amazon in a light pink push-up bra, yeah
You won’t believe what I just saw:
A full amazing time, and I’ve got that map upside-down
Well, north, south, east, west, “X” still marks that spot
And I feel like Young MC; and if I fell asleep, I might not ever wake up
Oh, god.
(Various “ooo”s and “oh”s)
A! E! I! O! U! And sometimes Y. (Yeah! Woo! Yeah!)
A! E! I! O! U! And sometimes Y. (Yeah! Woo! Yeah!)
Why? Because people like you! (Don’t like you.)
So, goin’ down the Amazon in a light green ’57 Chevy, uh.
Well, you think that’s, um, kind of heavy?
You should read my poetry
And I’ve been known to read it out loud
(Various “ooo”s and “oh”s)

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.
