Trumpet Troubles Lyrics

God, it would be so nice if I could play trumpet
I just wish I could play this thing
I've been borrowing this trumpet for so long
I just can't play it

(attempts to play trumpet, and fails as his anger increases)

It hurts my lips to blow on this thing
God, I wish I could play on the trumpet!

(another failed attempt)

Damn this trumpet!
I wish I could play it!
Look at the spit valve!
It just dribbles out onto the floor!
That's so cool! God!

(yet another pathetic attempt at playing it, practically crying now...)

But I can't play it!
I wish I could play this trumpet!!!!

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.
