Standard (EADGBE)

 Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me

 Oh things are gonna happen naturally

 Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side

 And balancing the whole thing

 But often times those words get tangled up in lines

 And the bright lights turn to night

 Until the dawn it brings

 Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Ha La La La La

L-listen closer to the verse I lay

Ha La La La La

It's all about the wordplay

Ha 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

 The remedy is the experience.

 This is a dangerous liaison

 I say the comedy is that it's serious.

 This is a strange enough new play on words

 I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend

 The rest of your nights with the light on

 So shine the light on all of your friends

 When it all amounts to nothing in the end.

 When 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 makin' 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 goin' under

 Pull out the stops,

Got your attention

 I guess it's time again for me to mention

The wordplay

 Live high

 Live mighty

 Live righteously

Takin it easy

 Live high, live mighty

 Live righteously

 Takin it easy

 Cause You and I both
