Subject: Copying lyrics from another source
Hi, L. Rex - I right-clicked on the page and chose "view source" from the menu that popped up, and then I copy-pasted from the other page.

If I had pasted the lyrics straight from the "source page, I would have had white-on-white lyrics.
If you had copy-pasted right from the other page, you would have had the words right and the color would be OK, but the line breaks would have been gone. They're easy to add - they look like this:
