You can save lyrics with a song file just as you do album art. To add lyrics, select a song in iTunes and press Ctrl+I (⌘-I) to call up the Get Info box. Then click the Lyrics tab.
Here, you can either meticulously type in a song's verses or look them up on one of the hundreds of Web sites devoted to cataloging them. Once you find your words, getting them into iTunes is a mere cut 'n' paste job away. If you want to add lyrics to all the songs on an album, or have several to add on the same playlist, click the Next button (circled). That advances you to the next song, thereby saving yourself repeated keystrokes invoking the Get Info command.
Tip
Some types of iTunes files don't support the lyrics function. AAC and MP3 files are perfectly happy with lyrics, but QuickTime and WAV files can't handle words, so you need to convert that WAV of "Jumping Jack Flash" if you want to have a gas, gas, gas with lyrics. If your Nano is set to shake and shuffle, you don't see this option.
