[Verse 1]
Eb Ab
Fritzy was the TV, sorta work and sorta doesn't
Eb Gb Bb
Like the snowy out the window was the fuzzy on the screen
Ab Abm Eb F
And snorey-borey were the little toys upon the floory
Ab Gb Bb Eb
And the neighbor kids were always kinda mean
Eb Ab
So criss-cross sat and chitter-chat, our days were spent conversy
Eb Gb Bb
Interspersy little words our very own till we'd forget
Ab Abm Eb F
Just where the English end and where our little words beginned
Ab Gb Bb
And ennui aid and time abet et ceter-eter-ret-set-set-set
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
We take a syllable, the funnier the better
Bb7 Eb
We say it till we make it be a word
Ab
Lexicon of beg and borrow
Eb
Idioglossary are oh,
F Bb Bb7
Isn't it the bestest thing you ever ever heard
Ab
Understood by no one but
Eb
The two of us and you know what
Bb Eb Bb Ab
I mean when all I'm saying is a-la-a-wah-a-oh
Eb Bb G Ab
It's something magical, absurd, and so
Bb Bb7 Eb
Much fun, this thing that we both know
[Verse 2]
Eb Ab
So we made a language and we meant to keep it secret
Eb Gb Bb
But the words were so hilarious we had to share them all
Ab Abm Eb F
We put it alphabetic and we gave 'em definitions
Ab Bb Eb
And we wrote 'em out in crayon on the wall
Eb Ab
Well, Momma didn't really take a liking to the mural
Eb Gb Bb
Truly, artistry is never understood within its day
Ab Abm Eb F
But maybe, in the end, we like it better as an enigmatic
Ab Bb Bb7
Game that only we can play, it's siblinguistic anyway
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
We take a syllable, the funnier the better
Bb7 Eb
We say it till we make it be a word
Ab
Lexicon of beg and borrow
Eb
Idioglossary are oh,
F Bb Bb7
Isn't it the bestest thing you ever ever heard
Ab
Understood by no one but
Eb
The two of us and you know what
Bb Eb Bb Ab
I mean when all I'm saying is a-la-a-wah-a-oh
Eb Bb G Ab
It's something magical, absurd, and so
Bb Bb7 Eb
Much fun, this thing that we both know
Ab, Eb, Bb, Eb Ab, Eb, F, Bb
Ab
Understood by no one but
Eb
The two of us and you know what
Bb Eb Bb Ab
I mean when all I'm saying is a-la-a-wah-a-oh
Eb Bb G Ab
It's something magical, absurd, and so
Bb Bb7 Eb
Much fun, this thing that we both know
