Lyrics
They call me Wizzo,

Merk is my name.

We speak with synonyms,

Words that mean the same.

Why don't we TALK,

We'd like to CHAT.

I have a CAP,

It's just a silly little HAT.

We'll make you SMILE,

We'll make you GRIN.

OVER and OVER,

AGAIN and AGAIN.

A GRIN means you're HAPPY,

A SMILE means you're GLAD.

And that's not so TERRIBLE,

No, that's not so BAD.

Everyone sing, la, la, la, la, la, la,

la, la, la, la, la, la.

Now EVERYONE, EVERYBODY.

Would you please LOOK,

He wants you to SEE,

At what's WITHIN,

There's something INSIDE.

It's very BROAD,

It's just plain WIDE.

We'll make you SMILE,

We'll make you GRIN.

OVER and OVER,

AGAIN and AGAIN.

Such an AMUSEMENT,

And, it's great FUN.

Now are you FINISHED?

No, I am not DONE.

Go ahead.

Look in the CAP!

All right, all right, all right,

I'm looking in the cap,

uh, the HAT, whatever.

It's rather LARGE,

I call it BIG.

Is it a HOG?

Yes, it's a PIG!

It is UNUSUAL,

It's STRANGE.

You mean the PIG?

The HOG? No! I mean the fact

that we use so many synonyms,

Ah, words that mean the same.
