Writer! - you are making them frown
There's a typo! - and they're writing it down
It says eighties! - in the URL line
but that AINT - when - that - song - chart - ed

How dare! - you think you'll get away
with such out-there! - proof of moral decay
the true vintage! - that you DIDN"T GET RIGHT!
was June Nine - teen - Sev - en - ty - Nine

(bam bam bam bam bam...)

I say Writer! - you can rhyme all you like
but there's ONE - thing - you - must - get - right

Just coz! - you thought noone would care
isn't just cause! - for mistakes to be there
The whole point of! - the entire exercise
is to corr - ect - ly di - a - rise
