I recently came upon some lyrics for Fearless Vampire Killer, and though the lyrics had some obvious mistakes, I had to listen to the song again because I think we all may have been misquoting the first two lines in the song.
The accepted lyrics are:
Watch yourself out in the realm
watch yourself out in front
this person's lyrics are:
Why 'on't y'all stop f*cking around
Why 'on't y'all stop f*cking frontin'
'On't, of course, being "don't", but the 'd' is often omitted in African American dialect when the word don't follows "why". Similarly, instead of saying "why didn't" one might say "why ain't". What do you guys think? This reassessment of the lyrics certainly make them more pointed and fiery.
