        We're the Velvet Underground and we have come to play
        it's been 28 years since we've been here to the day

        There's Maureen, she's on the drums, she's havin' lot of fun
        let's hear it for Moe Tucker, beat those skins for everyone

        There is Sterling Morrison, he's playing the guitar
        he's a guitar hero, kicks their asses really far

        Now you got here John and me

        Now you got here John and me, we want no part of this
        that's because we think it is real pretentious shit

and all the lyrics of Lou Reed you've put on the web.
I saw that you asked for some lyrics of the velvet nursey rhyme.
It's hear as attachment, excuse me for (maybe) some
faults in the text, I'm from the Netherlands.
Hope you can use it.

I found some errors in your lyrics for Chelsea Girls,
Velvet Nursery Rhyme and Lady Godiva's Operation.
Here are the correct ones:
