Joe, Your Web browser may let you make a copy of the site on your hard disk. In Internet Explorer (I use IE 6.0) click favorites on the menu bar and then "Add to Favorites…" Check the box where it says "Make available offline," this will enable the button labeled "Customize." Clicking the "Customize" button starts a wizzard that helps you configure what you want to save and how often you want IE to check for updates and keep things in sync.
If the site has pages that refer to other sites, as is often done with multimedia feeds like RealAudio, you won't pick up the remote content, only the access pages. In the case where lyrics are stored on the site, you should be able to replicate the site.
Under the "File" menu there is a toggle called "Work Offline." That toggle determines whether you're looking at your local copy of a site or the real, remote one.
This isn't something I do much so I don't really have useful experience with the facility but I don't see why it it shouldn't work.
