[Intro]
[G] [Cadd9] [Dadd9] [(x2)]
[Verse1]
I've been [Em7]all around the world
I've been a [G]new sensation
But it d[Am7]doesn't really matter in this ge-generation
[Em7]The sophomore slump is an u[G]uphill battle
And [Am7]someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a [Em7]new song
Like a new religion, m[G]music for the television
[Am7]I can't do the long division, someone do the math
B’for the [Em7]record label puts me
On the s[G]shelf up in the freezer
[Am7]Got to find another way to live the life of leisure

So I drop my top
[G]Mix and I mingle
[C]Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
[Chorus1]
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
[Verse2]
And it's time to get [Em7]ill I got your remedy
For t[G]those who don't remember me
Well l[Am7]let me introduce you to my style
I t[Em7]try to keep a jumble
In the l[G]lyrics never mumble
When the m[Am7]music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a n[Em7]new song, like a new religion
Mu[G]Music for the television
I [Am7]can't do the long division, someone do the math
For the p[Em7]people write me off
Like I'm a [G]one-hit wonder
G[Am7]Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under

Pull out the stops
G[G]Got your attention
I [C]guess it's time again for me to mention the wordplay
[Chorus2]
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
[Bridge]
I built a b[F#m7-5]bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a f[B]flowin’, but
I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the r[Em]ryhmin' and the timin’, Keeps the m[D5]melodies inside me
And they're co[C5]comin’ till I'm running out of air [C5] [C5/B] [C5] [D5]
Are you prepar[F#m7-5]prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Ar[B]Are you listening to a single word I've said
[Chorus3]
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La La Now listen closely to the verse I lay
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La La It's all about the wordplay
[G]Ha[Cadd9]Ha La La[Dadd9]La La Love
The wonderful thing it does
[Em7]Because I am the wizard of [D/F#]ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mis[G]Mister A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
