Chords & lyrics
Chord names sit directly above the word where you change.
G There's a word for that D G But I don't seem to know it C G Sometimes I grow a mustache D G Just so I don't have to show it The word for that C That someone somewhere chose D7 For that little dented skin D G Between my upper lip and nose C D G There's a word for that C D G What does it start with, the word for that? C D G I'd sound so smart if I only knew C D G The word for that, perhaps you do NC The word you're looking for is philtrum G There's a word for that D G It may come to me soon C G It dangles down in my mouth D G And is often in cartoons The word for that C It seems like such a drag D7 To not know what to call D D That little fleshy punching bag C D G There's a word for that C D G What does it start with, the word for that? C D G I'd sound so smart if I only knew C D G The word for that, perhaps you do NC Do you mean uvula? G There's a word for that D G It's on the tip of my tongue C G Well, actually underneath it D G And has been since I was young The word for that C Although I wouldn't quote D7 It likely stops my tongue D G From disappearing down my throat C D G There's a word for that C D G What does it start with, the word for that? C D G I'd sound so smart if I only knew C D G The word for that, perhaps you do C D G What does it start with, the word for that? C D G I'd sound so smart if I only knew C D G The word for that, perhaps you do NC Are you nuts? it's frenulum.
