when I run scraper.py, it will download a few song, but then will suddenly stop with the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scraper.py", line 137, in
get_lyrics(hit['result']['api_path'])
File "scraper.py", line 116, in get_lyrics
print 'Lyrics %s' % lyrics
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 559: ordinal not in range(128)

I've been able to reproduce this with Bob Dylan, Britney Spears, Phil Collins, and Simon and Garfunkel.
Additionally, I've attempted to fix this myself, but have had no luck thus far.
