Word Song

(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...
