Word Song Lyrics

(Tom T. Hall)

I don't like big long words like Geography
All the little words are good enough for me
Everytime I try to say a big word I get stuck
Like fortopolyismin aww shucks.

I like little words that only have one part
Rat and cat and dog they make me sound so smart
I try to say big words but I mess up each time I do
Like fortopolyismin aww bull.

Well I wish they didn't have so many words so long
It makes it even worse when they get in a song
I know that big long words were never meant for me
Like fortopolyismin well I'll be.

I'd like to learn one big word to impress my friends
But I know I could never ever get it in
One word that I know I will never ever learn to say
Is fortopolyismingpreedinphycholay.

Hey I did it
Fortopolyismin aww shucks
Fortopolyismin pfffffffffff...
