I Know Lyrics

[Bridge]
Tell me what's the circumstance of circumcision?
And what goes in my daughter's pants is whose decision?
I've seen the facts of inter-race relations
Of see-through slacks, of cyber-masturbation;
If a hundred monkeys each could get their own show
Perhaps one day a chimp might say
"And you have faith, you just need to use it sayeth the Lord"


[Chorus 3]
I know why I like you
It's cause of your sandals and your supper
And cause you're Jesus
I have a match; your dad, my dad has
Your picture right next to your mother's
And one of Charo

[Verse 3]
They hold hands up in heaven
And they say that their son's name is Kevin
But I read in a book somewhere that his name is Jack

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
