Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][G]
[C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
I've been [Am]all around the world
I've been a [C]new sensation
But it [Dm]doesn't really matter
In this generation
The [Am]sophomore slump is an [C]uphill battle
And [Dm]someone said that ain't my scene
'Cause they need a [Am]new song
Like a new religion
[C]Music for the television
[Dm]I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the [Am]record label puts me
on the [C]shelf up in the freezer
[Dm]Got to find another way
to live the life of leisure
So I [Am]drop my top
[C]Mix and I mingle
Is [Dm]everybody ready for the single and it goes

[Chorus 1]
[C]Ha la [F]la la [G]la
Now listen closer to the verse I [C]lay
Ha la [F]la la [G]la
It's all about the word[C]play
Ha la [F]la la [G]la
The wonderful thing it does
Because, be[Am]cause
I am the wizard of ooh's
and [G]ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [F]Mister A-Z

[Interlude 1]
They say I'm all about the wordplay
[C][F][G]

[Verse 2]
And it's time to get [Am]ill I got your remedy
For [C]those who don't remember me
Well [Dm]let me introduce you to my style
I [Am]try to keep a jumble
And the [C]lyrics never mumble
When the [Dm]music's makin' people tongue-tied
You want a [Am]new song
Like a new religion
[C]Music for the television
[Dm]I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the [Am]poeple write me off
like I'm a [C]one-hit wonder
[Dm]Got to find another way
to keep from goin' under
Pull [C]out the [Am]stops
Got your attention
I [Dm]guess it's time again for me to mention

[Chorus 2]
The wordplay
[C]Ha la [F]la la [G]la
Now listen closer to the verse I [C]lay
Ha la [F]la la [G]la
It's all about the word[C]play
Ha la [F]la la [G]la
The wonderful thing it does
Because, be[Am]cause
I am the wizard of ooh's
and [G]ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [F]Mister A-Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay

[Bridge 1]
I built a [Bdim]bridge across the stream
of consciousness
It always seems to be a [E]flowin'
But I don't which way my brain is goin'
Oh the [Am]ryhmin' and the timin'
Keeps the [G]melodies inside me
And they're [F]comin'
Til I'm running out of air
Are you [Bdim]prepared to take a dive
into the deep end of my head
[E]Are you listening to a single word I've said

[Chorus 3]
[C]Ha la [F]la la [G]la
Listen closer to the words I say
[C]Ha la la [F]la la[G]
We're sticken' to the word[C]play
Ha la [F]la la [G]la
The wonderful thing it does
Because, be[Am]cause
I am the wizard of ooh's
and [G]ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the [F]Mister A-Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay
[C]Ha la [F]la la [G]la
I'm all about the wordplay
[C]Ha la la [F]la la[G]
Stickin' with the word[C]play
Ha la [F]la la [G]la
I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, be[Am]cause
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la- [G]la's
fall back in love
For the [F]Mister A-Z
They say it's all about the wordplay
