[Intro]
G (2 counts) Cadd9 (2 counts) Dsus4 (4 counts) (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Em7 (2 counts) Dsus4 (2 counts) Cadd9 (4 counts)
 
Em7
I've been all around the world
Dsus4
I've been a new sensation
Cadd9
But it doesn't really matter
In this generation
Em7                                    Dsus4
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
Cadd9
And someone said that ain't my scene
Em7
'Cause they need a new song
Dsus 4
Like a new religion
Music for the television
Cadd9
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
Em7                                               Dsus4
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
Cadd9
Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
Em7
So I drop my top
Dsus4
Mix and I mingle
Cadd9
Is everybody ready for the single and it goes...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G  Cadd9  Dsus4
 
G       Cadd9 Dsus4
Ha La La La La
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
G        Cadd9 Dsus4
(Ha La La La La)
It's all about the wordplay
G        Cadd9 Dsus4
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does
G
Because, because
                                           Cadd9
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Dsus4
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
 
 
[Verse 2]
(same chords as in verse 1)
 
And it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble
When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television
I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
Gota find another way to keep from goin' under
Pull out the stops
Got your attention
I guess it's time again for me to mention
The wordplay
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G  Cadd9  Dsus4
 
G       Cadd9 Dsus4
Ha La La La La
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
G        Cadd9 Dsus4
(Ha La La La La)
It's all about the wordplay
G        Cadd9 Dsus4
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does
G
Because, because
                                           Cadd9
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Dsus4
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Cadd9 (1 strum)
I built a bridge across the stream my consciousness
It always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
           G
Oh the ryhmin' and the timin'
 Dsus4
Keeps the melodies inside me
Cadd9
And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air
               Asus4 (1 strum)                  Cadd9 (1 strum)
Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
 
Are you listening to a single word I've said
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G  Cadd9  Dsus4
 
G       Cadd9 Dsus4
Ha La La La La
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
G        Cadd9 Dsus4
(Ha La La La La)
It's all about the wordplay
G        Cadd9 Dsus4
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does
G
Because, because
                                           Cadd9
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Dsus4
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
