1981 Lyrics

Woo!

Huh! Hah! Woo! Woo!

["In the Air Tonight" drum solo]
It's the joint!

Aha, aha, aha

Hush, my darling
Don't you cry
(Aha, aha, aha)
Guardian angel
Forget their lies

You know I wish that I had Jessie's girl
(She's a very kinky girl)
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
(She's a super freak)
I want Jessie's girl
(She's a super freak)
I want- I want Jessie's girl
(Super freak, she's alright)

I wish that I had Jessie's girl
(Super freak, she's alright)
I want- I want Jessie's girl
(She's alright with me)
Bom, bom, bow
Bom, bom, bow
Bom, bom, bow
Bom, bom, bow

Don't stop believin' (But don't let go)
Hold on to the feeling
Don't stop believin' (But don't let go)

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 [?]
