Words You Never Heard

SHAKESPEARE:
A shepherd has a wooden cane he herds with
A barber-surgeon has his drill and blade
But I, my friends, am what you call a wordsmith
And the brain is the tool of my trade
So I peruse the English language
Beyond Oxford, beyond Cambridge
As I drink from my imagination's cup
And if I can't find the word that I'm looking for
I simply make one up.

Like monumental, and marriage bed
Like sanctimonious
That's right, that's what I said
And then there's pander
And pageantry
Those are words you never heard until you heard of me
Those are words you never heard if not for me.

Obsequiesly
Yeah, that's a big one
It means to ceremoniously be and then some
And what is stealthy
And savagery?
Those are words you never heard until you heard of me
Those are words you never heard if not for me.

I think it up in my head
And then it's coined!
Sometimes borrowed
But not purloined
I have a lot of fun
When I break it down
To the adverbs and the adjectives, the predicates and nouns

A giant lizard with crooked smile
Have you seen one? Crocodile!
Or take the Spanish to the English, alligator
These are words you never heard until you heard of me
These are words you never heard if not for me

CHORUS:
(He's a genius! How does he do it?
He makes it look so easy, like there's nothing to it!)

SHAKESPEARE:
Well, it's my gift to society
All these words you never heard until you heard of me
All these words you never heard if not for me

I think it up in my head
And then it's coined
Sometimes borrowed
But not purloined
I have a lot of fun
When I break it down
To the adverbs and the adjectives, the predicates and nouns

Hot-blooded?
Am I obscene?
Excuse my swagger
Yes, that's right, that's what I mean
Are you bedazzled?
Well you should be!
These are words you never heard until you heard of me
These are words you never heard if not for me
These are words you never heard until you heard of me
These are words you never heard if not for me
You're welcome
