Hi...just so you know, under copyright rules Wikipedia cannot reprint the entirety of a copyrighted song's lyrics. We can quote lyrical excerpts under fair use, as the article did before your edits, and we can reprint an entire lyric if a song exists in the public domain (such as a traditional folk song whose original author isn't even known), but it's a copyright violation for us to reprint a song's entire lyric if there's an active copyright on it. Simply citing the copyright holder isn't enough under copyright law. Thanks. Bearcat 13:35, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
