“right” in a lyric: two examples

We built the bookshelf wrong, then held it tight

and found the beach. So maybe you were right.

How to choose the rhyme

  • Say the line out loud before you choose: the rhyme has to land on the beat where the melody stresses it.
  • Rhymes of 1 syllable (night, might, and quite) close a line hard; those of 3 syllables (overnight and impolite) stretch it and soften it. Match them to what the line is saying.
  • If every perfect rhyme for “right” sounds forced, move “right” inside the line and end it on another word.
