I've been [Em7] all around the world
I've been a [G] new sensation
But it [Am7] doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
[Em7] The sophomore slump is an [G] uphill battle
And [Am7] someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a [Em7] new song
Like a new religion, [G] music for the television
[Am7] I can't do the long division, someone do the math
B’for the [Em7] record label puts me
On the [G] shelf up in the freezer
[Am7] Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top
[G] Mix and I mingle
[C] Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7] Because I am the wizard of [D/F#] ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G] Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
And it's time to get [Em7] ill I got your remedy
For [G] those who don't remember me
Well [Am7] let me introduce you to my style
I [Em7] try to keep a jumble
In the [G] lyrics never mumble
When the [Am7] music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a [Em7] new song, like a new religion
[G] Music for the television
I [Am7] can't do the long division, someone do the math
For the [Em7] people write me off
Like I'm a [G] one-hit wonder
[Am7] Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops
[G] Got your attention
I [C] guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7] Because I am the wizard of [D/F#] ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G] Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
I built a [F#m7-5] bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a [B] flowin’, but
I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the [Em] ryhmin' and the timin’, Keeps the [D5] melodies inside me
And they're [C5] comin’ till I'm running out of air [C5] [C5/B] [C5] [D5]
Are you [F#m7-5] prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
[B] Are you listening to a single word I've said
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G] [Cadd9] Ha La [Dadd9] La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7] Because I am the wizard of [D/F#] ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G] Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
