Here comes success, here comes success
Over my hill, over my hill
Here comes success, here comes success
Here comes my car, here comes my car
Here comes my Chinese rug, here comes my Chinese rug
Here comes success, here comes success

In the last ditch, in the last ditch
I’ll think of you, I’ll think of you
In the last ditch, in the last ditch
I will be true, I will be true
Sweetheart I’m telling you, sweetheart I’m telling you
Here comes the zoo, here comes the zoo

Here comes success, here comes success
Oh, hooray success, hooray success
Here comes success, hooray success
Oh oh success, oh oh success
I can’t help myself, I can’t help myself
I just got to got to got to, I just got to got to got to…
I can’t stand it, got to got to got to

Here comes my face, here comes my face
It’s plain bizarre, it’s plain bizarre
Here comes my face, here comes my face
Out of the crowd, out of the crowd
Sweetheart I’m telling you, sweetheart I’m telling you
Here comes the zoo, here comes the zoo

In the last ditch, in the last ditch
Here comes success, here comes success
Here comes success, here comes success
I’m gonna do the twist, I’m gonna do the twist
I’m moved, man, I’m wiggged, oh I’m moved and I’m wigged
I’m crazy, I’m gonna, I’m gonna go crazy. And if you, maybe you’d like..
Let’s blast off!

Alright! Baby, let’s blast off, oh, baby let’s blast off
Blast off on success, blast off on success
Oh you slay me, oh you slay me, baby, ooooh, you slay me, baby
I’m gonna do the twist, I’m gonna do the twist
I’m gonna hop like a frog, I’m gonna hop like a frog
I’m gonna go out on the street and do anything I want
I’m gonna go out on the street and do anything
Oh, shit! Oh, shit!

About Lyrics and Success by Iggy Pop

The lyrics to Success are the words, verses and chorus for the song released by Iggy Pop in 1977. Elements of the lyrics to Success are both direct in meaning and also metaphorical with the real meanings of the song only known by Iggy Pop and any collaborating writers working on the lyrics for Success back when it was created.

Some people have an interest in the etymology behind words and phrases. You can take apart the lyrics to Success by Iggy Pop in a number of ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Success" means the words set to the music of Success, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Iggy Pop. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Success and the lyrics to Success are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Iggy Pop who came here looking just for the lyrics to Success, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
