lyrics

Some people say I really like to talk
And it's true, that's no reason to mock
But there's a rationale behind the act
And I wrote this little ditty to give you the fact

Words really fascinate me
I love how they roll off my tongue
I have
since I was quite young

I like when folks debate me
Just please do not berate me
If there's a new word I haven't heard
I'll file it deep in my head
learn new words till I'm dead
words words words words

Some people say I write a lot of songs
And it's true, those people are not wrong
But there is a reason that this is so
And I've written yet another song to let you know

Words really fascinate me
I love how they roll off my tongue
I have
since I was quite young

I like when folks debate me
Just please do not berate me
If there's a new word I haven't heard
I'll file it deep in my head
learn new words till I'm dead
words words words words

From first thing in the morning
To late in the night
Two of my favourite things are
To read and to write
Words always surround me
They give me delight
Sing the last chorus with me
Don't put up a fight!

Words really fascinate me
I love how they roll off my tongue
I have
since I was quite young

I like when folks debate me
Just please do not berate me
If there's a new word I haven't heard
I'll file it deep in my head
learn new words till I'm dead
words words words words
