#  How to get lyrics from a website?

```
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

songname="2002"
html_file=requests.get("https://search.azlyrics.com/search.php?q="+songname).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_file,"lxml")
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('td',class_='text-left visitedlyr')]
link=str(list(match[0])[1]).split('"')

html_files=requests.get(link[1]).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_files,"lxml")
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('div',class_='col-xs-12 col-lg-8 text-center')]

lyrics=str(match).split("\n")
start=lyrics.index('<!-- Usage of azlyrics.com content by any third-party lyrics provider is prohibited by our licensing agreement. Sorry about that. -->\r')
end=lyrics.index('<!-- MxM banner -->')
print(lyrics[start+1:end-2])

for i in lyrics[start+1:end-2]:
    f=i.replace("<br/>","")
    print(f)
``` 

## Requesting a song lyrics link


```
songname="2002"
html_file=requests.get("https://search.azlyrics.com/search.php?q="+songname).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_file,"lxml")
``` 

Then in soup it will have the entire website code we have to extract <td> element of class 'text-left visitedlyr'

```
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('td',class_='text-left visitedlyr')]
link=str(list(match[0])[1]).split('"')
``` 
then further extraction will give the song lyrics link:- 
https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/annemarie/2002.html

## Extracting song lyrics 

By using the song lyrics link we have to again make a request 

```
html_files=requests.get(link[1]).text
soup=BeautifulSoup(html_files,"lxml")
``` 

Then we have to extract <div> element of class 'col-xs-12 col-lg-8 text-center'

```
match=[x.extract() for x in soup.findAll('div',class_='col-xs-12 col-lg-8 text-center')]
lyrics=str(match).split("\n")
start=lyrics.index('<!-- Usage of azlyrics.com content by any third-party lyrics provider is prohibited by our licensing agreement. Sorry about that. -->\r')
end=lyrics.index('<!-- MxM banner -->')

lyrics=lyrics[start+1:end-2]
``` 
Then Further extraction will give the desired song lyrics: -


> I will always remember
> The day you kissed my lips
> Light as a feather
> And it went just like this
> No, it's never been better
> Than the summer of two thousand and two
> 
> We were only eleven
> But acting like grown-ups
> Like we are in the present
> Drinking from plastic cups
> Singing "love is forever and ever"
> Well, I guess that was true
