This is a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothin' better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here is what happened when they decided to cut loose
They headed down to, ooh, old El Paso
That's where they ran into a great big hassle
Billy Joe shot a man while robbing his castle
Bobbie Sue took the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, billy Mack is a detective down in Texas
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is
He ain't gonna let those two escape justice
He makes his livin' off of the people's taxes
Bobbie Sue, whoa, whoa, she slipped away
Billy Joe caught up to her the very next day
They got the money, hey, you know they got away
They headed down south and they're still running today
Singin' go on take the money and run
Go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Oh lord, go on, take the money and run
Hoo-hoo-hoo
Hey, yeah, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run
Oh lord, go on, take the money and run, yeah (yeah)
Hoo-hoo-hoo, go on, take the money and run, oh lord

I haven’t read through this thread yet so sorry if this is a repost, but I’ve always loved the complex wordplay by Dr. Dre on ‘Nuthin but a G Thang’…

Never let me slip, cause if I slip, then I’m slippin’.

Thank goodness he can make beats (and Beats).
blasphemy. one of the best rhythms and rhymes, ever. they even made a movie starring that classic with the legendary intro.


here, have another redo posted only a handful of hours ago.
Nuthin But A G Thang 2021 Version! (Prod By AKT Aktion) Dr Dre & Snoop Dogg - YouTube
it just may have the most repeated individual lyrics of any song, ever.
'It's like this and like that and like this and uh'
indeed.

When you no lyrics to write, just create a song about WAP.

Baby girl I don't mean to be rude
I just wanna take you out
show you what I'm about
Take you out in my pickup truck
Baby you 'bout to get stuffed

Uh, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Deepest, bluest, my hat is like a shark's fin
Man-made terror, hungry jaws of death
Y'all don't cross my depths, I'll pause your breaths
I cause you to sink down forty thousand leagues
Bleeding to death with no arms and short sleeves
My world's deep blue, killers gotta eat too
Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through
Other fish in the sea but barracudas ain't equal
To a half human predator created by a needle
Jet black eyes, baby, they stare while you sleep
When your Titanic sinks, I'm the one you gon' meet
Hearing terrified screams, they surround my team
All you see is trails of blood, even God won't intervene
Nightmares of darkness, my appetite is heartless
Even if we related, you eliminated regardless
In the deep blue underwater walls
Half man, half shark, my jaws don't fall

From Rick Springfield's Jessie's Girl...."I wanna tell her that I love her but the point is probably moot"
just bad on so many levels....

Bonus pick: Any lyrics by Sheryl Crow....example from Everyday is a Winding Road
"He's got a daughter he calls Easter
She was born on a Tuesday night
I'm just wondering why I feel so all alone...."
??????? wtf. sorry but she's unlistenable (a word that is probably in one of her songs)

I'm sorry if someone has already supplied the only correct answer, because I'm not bothering to read a thread where there isn't even a second place.

Muskrat Love by The Captain and Tennile. Don't even bother thanking me.

It’s not their song. It’s a cover of Willis Alan Ramsey’s “Muskrat Candlelight” from his sole, eponymous and somewhat legendary album. Still a favorite of mine. ”Ballad of Spider John” is probably my favorite cut:

This is an old video but seems appropriate for this thread. Lyrics do not matter when making a hit song.

Edit: more proof

School's Out by Alice Cooper is pretty bad. They clearly put zero effort into writing the lyrics, especially this one:

Well, we got no class
And we got no principals
We ain't got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes
