Em I've been all around the world G I've been a new sensation Am7 But it doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
(same chords progression)
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle And someone said they knew my scene Cause they need a new song like a new religion Music for the television I can't do the long division someone do the math The record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
[Pre-Chorus]
EmG So I drop my top mix and I mingle Am7 Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
[Chorus]
GC9D Ah la la la love...now listen closely to the verse I lay Ah la la la love...it's all about the wordplay Ah la la la love D The wonderful thing it does because because EmD/F# I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's C9 Yeah the Mr. A to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay
[Verse 2] (same as verse 1)
And it's time to get ill I got your remedy For those who don't remember me well let me introduce you to my style I try to keep a jumble and the lyrics never mumble When the music's making people tongue-tied You want a new song like a new religion Music for the television I can't do the long division someone do the math For the people write me off like I'm a one hit wonder Gotta find another way to keep from going under
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em Pull out the stops N.C. Got your attention Am7 I guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay...
[Chorus]
GC9D Ah la la la love...now listen closely to the verse I lay Ah la la la love...it's all about the wordplay Ah la la la love D The wonderful thing it does because because EmD/F# I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's C9 Yeah the Mr. A to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay
[Bridge]
Am Oh, the bridge across the stream of consciousness B It always seems to be a flowing but I don't know which way my brain is going E5D5C5 Oh, the rhyming and the timing keeps the melodies inside me and they're coming till I'm running out of air Am Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head B Are you listening to a single word I've said?
[Chorus] (just guitar)
GC9D Ah la la la love Listen closer to the words I say Ah la la love We're sticking to the wordplay Ah la la la love The wonderful thing it does because because I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa la la's Yeah the Mr. A to Z they say I'm all about the wordplay
[Final Chorus] (full band)
GC9D Ah la la la love I'm all about the wordplay Ah la la la love Sticking with the wordplay Ah la la la love I love the wonderful thing it does because because of my ooh's and ah's and fa la la's back in love With the Mr. A to Z they say is all about the wordplay
