  			Intro: 
G-C-D 2x 

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

{Chorus} 
G      C     D 
Ha La La La La 
Now listen closely to the verse I lay 
G      C     D 
(Ha La La La La) 
It's all about the wordplay 
G      C     D 
(Ha La La La Love) 
Em 
The wonderful thing it does 
         G 
Because, because 
                              C                D 
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's 
Em 
Yeah the Mister A to Z 
                               G-C-D 
They say I'm all about the wordplay
