Mimi Merlot Lyrics

Manuel's mouth filled with foam
Upon discovering the properties of Mimi Merlot
Just imagine his chagrin when he found she'd drugged him
Tied him up and locked him inside her wardrobe
On top of all of this the boas hung above him
Made him sneeze
It's snowing all around inside Mimi's wardrobe
Oh no, no
Now she's covering the wardrobe in aluminum foil
Oh no, no, then she sticks her little finger
Through the keyhole and says
"Suck on it and maybe I'll let you go"
To which Manuel replies
"Oh you want me to suck? Like this?"
Mimi Merlot, you're the most convincingly non-fictitious character that I know

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.

This and Penelope are my favorite songs on the Coquelicot album.

I love this part: "It's snowing all around inside Mimi's wardrobe Oh, no, no Now she's covering the wardrobe in aluminum foil Oh, no, no"
