No, no, no. We do NOT post complete lyrics to songs. See that sticky RIGHT THERE at the head of the forum? If I was in a better mood I’d provide a link to the lyric for you, but cluelessness gives me indigestion. You now have to get your butt back in here and do it yourself. ---

Sure. I didn’t care about the answer, anyway.
