Ponyphonic - Idioglossary

      [Verse 1]
Eb                      Ab
Fritzy was the TV, sorta work and sorta doesn't
Eb                                      Gb              Bb
Like the snowy out the window was the fuzzy on the screen
Ab              Abm             Eb              F
And snorey-borey were the little toys upon the floory
Ab                           Gb    Bb    Eb
And the neighbor kids were always kinda mean

Eb                                      Ab
So criss-cross sat and chitter-chat, our days were spent conversy
Eb                              Gb              Bb
Interspersy little words our very own till we'd forget
Ab                      Abm                     Eb      F
Just where the English end and where our little words beginned
Ab              Gb              Bb
And ennui aid and time abet et ceter-eter-ret-set-set-set

[Chorus]
Eb                      Bb
We take a syllable, the funnier the better
     Bb7                                Eb
We say it till we make it be a word
Ab
Lexicon of beg and borrow
Eb
Idioglossary are oh,
F                               Bb      Bb7
Isn't it the bestest thing you ever ever heard
Ab
Understood by no one but
Eb
The two of us and you know what
Bb                              Eb    Bb     Ab
I mean when all I'm saying is a-la-a-wah-a-oh
Eb              Bb      G               Ab
It's something magical, absurd, and so
                                Bb   Bb7     Eb
Much fun, this thing that we both know


[Verse 2]
Eb                              Ab
So we made a language and we meant to keep it secret
Eb                                      Gb              Bb
But the words were so hilarious we had to share them all
Ab              Abm             Eb              F
We put it alphabetic and we gave 'em definitions
Ab                      Bb            Eb
And we wrote 'em out in crayon on the wall

Eb                              Ab
Well, Momma didn't really take a liking to the mural
Eb                      Gb                     Bb
Truly, artistry is never understood within its day
Ab              Abm             Eb              F
But maybe, in the end, we like it better as an enigmatic
 Ab                             Bb              Bb7
Game that only we can play, it's siblinguistic anyway

[Chorus]
Eb                      Bb
We take a syllable, the funnier the better
     Bb7                                Eb
We say it till we make it be a word
Ab
Lexicon of beg and borrow
Eb

F                               Bb      Bb7

Ab
Understood by no one but
Eb

Bb                              Eb    Bb     Ab
I mean when all I'm saying is a-la-a-wah-a-oh
Eb              Bb      G               Ab
It's something magical, absurd, and so
                                Bb   Bb7     Eb
Much fun, this thing that we both know

Ab, Eb, Bb, Eb    Ab, Eb, F, Bb
Ab
Understood by no one but
Eb

                        Bb   Bb7     Eb
