  1. What do you mean by "make sense"? Lyrics certainly don't have to read like prose or follow the normal rules of grammar. Sometimes the words are just images, snapshots. And even when they are in a foreign language or nonsense words, they still need to make musical sense and rhythmic sense. What it really comes down to is that we, as listeners, are free to decipher the words of a song any way we want, and the vaguer the words, the more latitude we have to interpret in our own way. Who, we must ask ourselves, really did put the bop in the bop she-bop? Furthermore, who put the ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
