Lizzo is riding a wave of success at the moment, from hitting Platinum with her song 'Truth Hurts' to delivering stand-out live performances at both the MTV and BET Awards - she's killing it on all fronts.

However, in 2019 there's perhaps no truer mark of success than getting the royal meme treatment - which is why the singer was so thrilled when the lyrics to her certified bop 'Boys' - which is essentially a hippity-hop, boy-loving anthem - took off on Twitter.

For some context, the song's absolutely perfect second verse includes the lyrics: "I like big boys, itty bitty boys / Mississippi boys, inner city boys / I like the pretty boys with the bow tie / Get your nails did, let it blow dry / I like a big beard, I like a clean face / I don't discriminate, come and get a taste / From the playboys to the gay boys / Go and slay, boys, you my fave boys."

Enter: Twitter user Zach Price, who geniusly matched each line of the verse with a corresponding LIZZARD (Lizzo - Lizzard, get it?), resulting in emergency-level cuteness.
Lizzo retweeted the thread, calling on fans to "MAKE MORE OF THESE PLEASE".

Well, it would seem Queen Lizzo's wish is the internet's command:
Cute animals AND funky lyrics - be still our beating hearts. 

Moral of the story? While the internet can be a cesspool of hate, sometimes it delivers Lizzo memes and makes it all worthwhile.
