(to Elton John's "Sorry Seems To Be the Hardest Word")
What have you got to say to make
your tongue weep?
What have you got to say to sound
impaired?
What do you do when spoken word
stinks?
And you trip through sounds that
make you swear?
What do you lose when words are
wanton?
Who of your friends were crude when
they heard?
When do you pray for word’s less
bolder?
When floccinaucinihilipilification
seems to be the hardest word.
Be mad, be sad
It’s a mad, sad bid of diction
And I’m thinking word is pure absurd
Be mad, be sad
Can Webster strike this ogre?
Cos at least to me
That floccinaucinihilipilification
seems to be the hardest word.
Be glad, a tad
It’s a tad, glad situation
When you find with ease a pleasing
word
You’re had, my lad
When words re-quire decoder
You’ll, I think, agree
That floccinaucinihilipilification
seems to be the hardest word.
How do you find best words to ease speech?
When do you have to choose to reword?
Better to choose your nouns more
care-flee
That’s what you’ve got to do
When you've got verbal shrew
For floccinaucinihilipilification,
is to me, the hardest word.
