You remember lyrics because of the melody, not just the words. Your tone sticks in their mind.

YouTube video (German) discussing why song lyrics are more memorable than book text: melody, tonality and melody help memory retention. The dialogue contrasts an average song (~330 words) with an average book page (~330 words) and reports retention estimates (after 2 days ~19%; after 1 week ~9%; after 1 year <3%). The clip is conversational, asking why lyrics can be recalled verbatim while book pages cannot.

Questions this video answers

About 330 words.

After two days about 19%; after one week about 9%; after one year less than 3%.
