Retrieving song lyrics in markdown

A want/workflow desire I've kept coming back to for years:

I would really like the ability to quickly/painlessly retrieve the lyrics of a given track formatted in Markdown (to the clipboard, probably, but it really doesn't matter.)

I keep coming back to the notion, find myself at the Genius API documentation (https://docs.genius.com,) which I don't immediately understand as something that can actually provide lyrics in an http response, so I move on to ... trying to figure out if Apple Music's lyrics integration can be actually retrieved in text via API, on which I also give up on almost immediately and then forget about it lol.

This time around, I tried a few variations of Google searching "lyrics in markdown" and saw... nothing on topic.

Surely I am not the only one, though?
