The Long Word Song

D


[Verse 1]
D                                           A7
I've been afraid of big words since I was a kid
                                               D
I thought that I'd get over it somehow I never did
                                           G
Usually it's no big deal but every now and then
                   D                A7           D
Your audaciously loquacious! Ahhhh! It kicks in again

[Verse 2]
D                                                 A7
I went to a specialist and said what's wrong with me
                                              D
Based upon your test results it's not hard to see
                                                       G
If you're afraid of lengthy words, you're not the only one
                    D                   A7                 D
Here's what your condition's called but this won't be much fun.

[Chorus]
D                                    A7
Hippo-poto-monstros-es-qui-pedal-io-phobia
                             D
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia
                                                          G
If you're afraid of big long words here is one you should know-a
         D         A7        D
Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.

[Verse 3]
Continues after the ad
D                                  A7
I'm not even joking, believe it or not
                                                  D
Though it's absurd that's the word I don't like a lot
                                                   G
There's one thing I know for sure so listen if you please
                D                 A7            D
Whoever came up with the word did not have this disease.

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
D                                        A7
I was in my science class when I started screaming
                                      D
It was cuz of a video the teacher was streaming
                                                G
It was about a lung disease I hope they all get better
            D                A7           D
But whoever named it gave it way too many letters.
N.C.
I mean really who would name a disease

"Pneumono-ultra-microscopic-silico-volcano-con-iosis"
N.C.
Not very sensitive to people who have…
