there’s a word for that

sometimes i grow a moustache just so i don’t have to show it
( G )
the word for that

that someone , somewhere chose

for that little dented skin between my upper lip and nose

n . C .
( the word you’re looking for is philtrum )

[ verse 2 ]
there’s a word for that
it may come to me soon
it dangles down in my mouth , and it’s often in cartoons
the word for that
it seems like such a drag
to not know what to call that little fleshy punching bag

[ chorus ]

[ verse 3 ]
there’s a word for that
it’s on the tip of my tongue
well actually underneath it , and has been since i was young
the word for that
although i won’t quote
it likely stops my tongue from disappearing down my throat

[ chorus ] ( x2 )

[ end on G ]
