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 [?]

Genius Annotation

This is the introduction to William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, written in the form of a sonnet.

Shakespeare’s play was based on The Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet, a 1562 narrative poem by Arthur Brooke, which was actually the inspiration for many plays during the time.
