WordplayWords By Jason Mraz & Kevin Kadish, Music By Jason Mraz
I’ve been all
around the world
I’ve been a new
sensation.
But it doesn’t
really matter
in this g-g-generation
The sophmore
slump is an
uphill battleBut
someone said
that ain’t my
scene-Cuz they
need a new song
like a new religionMusic
for the televisionI
cant do the long d
ivision someone
do the mathBefore
the record label
puts me on a
shelf up in the
freezerAnd I
gotta find another
way to live the life
of leisureSo I drop
my top Mix and
I mingle…Is everybody
ready for the single (and it goes)…
la la la la la listen
closely to the verse
I layLa la la la It’s
all about the wordplayI
la la la la love the
wonderful thing it
does because
Because I am the
wizard of oohs
and ahhs and
fa la la la’sThe
MR. A to Z they
say is all about the wordplay.
When it’s time
to get ill I got
your remedyFor
those who don’t
remember meLet
me introduce you
to my styleI try to
keep a jumble in
the lyrics never
mumbleWhen the
groove is making
people tongue-tiedYou
want a new song like
a new religionMusic
for the televisionI
cant do the long
division someone
do the mathBefore
my people write me
off just like a one hit
wonderI gotta find
another way to keep
from going underPull
out the stops - Got your
attentionI guess it’s
me again for me to
mention the wordplay.
la la la la la listen closer
to the verse I layIt’s
all about the wordplayI
la la la la love the wonderful
thing it does because
Because I am the wizard
of oohs and ahhs and
fa la la la’sThe mister
A to Z they say is all
about the wordplay.
I built a BRIDGE across
the Stream of consciousnessIt
always seems to be
a flowing Though
I don’t know which
way my brain is goingAll
the rhyming and the
timing keep the melodies
inside me ever climbing
‘til I’m running out of air…
Are you prepared to
take a dive into the
deep end of my head?
Are you listening to
a “single” word I’ve said?
La la la la la listen
closer to the verse
I layLa la la la I’m
sticking with the
wordplayI la la la
la love the wonderful
thing it does because
Because I am the wizard
of oohs and ahhs and
fa la la la’sThe mister
A to Z they say is all
about the wordplay.
Because of the oohs
and the ahhs and fa la la’sFall back
in love with the mister A to Z They say
is all about the wordplay.
