I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter

In this generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that ain't my scene

'Cause they need a new song
Like a new religion
Music for the television

I can't do the long division
Someone do the math
For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer

Got to find another way to live the life of leisure
So I drop my top
Mix and I mingle

Is everybody ready for my single and it goes...

[Chorus]

Ha La La La La
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
(Ha La La La La)

It's all about the wordplay
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does

Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A to Z

They say I'm all about the wordplay

When 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
Gotta 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]

Ha La La La La
Now listen closely to the verse I lay
(Ha La La La La)

It's all about the wordplay
(Ha La La La Love)
The wonderful thing it does

Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A to Z

They say I'm all about the wordplay

I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness

It always seems to be a flowin'
But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
Oh the ryhmin' and the timin'

Keeps the melodies inside me
And they're comin'
Till I'm running out of air

Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
Are you listening to a single word I've said


Ha La La La La
Listen closely to the words I say
Ha La La La La

I'm stickin' to the wordplay
Ha La La La Love
The wonderful thing it does

Because, because
I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
Yeah the Mister A to Z
They say I'm all about the wordplay


Ha La La La La
I'm all about the wordplay
Ha La La La La
Stickin' with the wordplay
Ha La La La Love

I love the wonderful thing it does
Because, because
The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's fall back in love
For the Mister A to Z they say
Is all about the wordplay
