Day 28 - Lexicon

Yesterday I had an MCU Phase One Marathon, so no song. But today, we are nearly done. So close! Today was meant to be about something else...but I made it to be about language. I actually set myself quite a specific challenge with the lyrics. Can you figure it out? Hope you enjoy! Lyrics below, video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egzimwgt6-c

Lexicon

V1: / A2 // Cmaj7 // x4
Are you constantly perplexed
By gramarye and lexical fancies?
Persistently baffled by the wizened folks
And their Brobdingnagian obfuscation?
Or blindingly confounded by the quizzical nature
Veritably and hysterically displayed
By jargon and the like?

C: / A2 / Cmaj7 / D // A2 / Cmaj7 / D / Fmaj7 / x2
Lengthen your lexicon
Revamp your vocabulary
Read a book
Even one on the net
It will help you understand
Wonder at words
Linger on your language
You might just find
After a while
That you enjoy it

V2:
Interjections, adverbs, pronouns, adjectives
Similes, metaphors, hyperbole, names
Words can be and do so many things
So if it’s starting to get frustrating

C

V3:
Twenty-six different letters to make our words
And so many different words to make our language
Constantly growing, evolving, changing, assimilating
But such a beautiful thing it is

C x2
