If you're the kind of person who revels in being the hero to answer questions such as, "How does that song go?", your day just got a whole lot better.

Google has announced it will be adding song lyrics to its search function, meaning you'll no longer have to click through multiple third-party websites trying to figure out whether Jimi Hendrix is actually singing 'Excuse me while I kiss the sky' or 'Excuse me while I kiss this guy' in 'Purple Haze'.

The search giant has inked a deal with Toronto-based LyricFind to source and show lyrics directly in the search results. The feature's available in the US from today, and should eventually roll out globally, with the partnership reportedly including international licenses.

All you need to do to see lyrics is search for the name of the song followed by 'lyrics' on Google. The engine will also display a list of alternative results of songs with the same name by other artists.

While the deal terms weren't made public, LyricFind CEO and co-founder Darryl Ballantyne explained how he believes the move will be "a significant revenue stream" that could amount to millions for music publishers and songwriters.

"It's all based on usage. Royalties are paid based on the number of times a lyric is viewed. The more it's viewed, the more publishers get paid," he told Billboard.

For artists, the plan is now clear: create an anthem complete with like-sounding verses for maximum profit.
